Method Detail

allEntries

public int allEntries()

Sum of the entries in all the IHistogram's bins, i.e in-range bins, UNDERFLOW and OVERFLOW. This is equivalent to the number of times the method fill was invoked.

Returns:

The sum of all the entries.

extraEntries

public int extraEntries()

Number of entries in the UNDERFLOW and OVERFLOW bins.

Returns:

The number of entries outside the range of the IHistogram.

equivalentBinEntries

public double equivalentBinEntries()

Number of equivalent entries, i.e. SUM[ weight ] ^ 2 / SUM[ weight^2 ]

Returns:

The number of equivalent entries.

sumBinHeights

public double sumBinHeights()

Sum of in-range bin heights in the IHistogram, UNDERFLOW and OVERFLOW bins are excluded.

Returns:

The sum of the in-range bins heights.

sumAllBinHeights

public double sumAllBinHeights()

Sum of the heights of all the IHistogram's bins, i.e in-range bins, UNDERFLOW and OVERFLOW.

Returns:

The sum of all the bins heights.

sumExtraBinHeights

public double sumExtraBinHeights()

Sum of heights in the UNDERFLOW and OVERFLOW bins.

Returns:

The sum of the heights of the out-of-range bins.

minBinHeight

public double minBinHeight()

Minimum height of the in-range bins, i.e. not considering the UNDERFLOW and OVERFLOW bins.

Returns:

The minimum height among the in-range bins.

maxBinHeight

public double maxBinHeight()

Maximum height of the in-range bins, i.e. not considering the UNDERFLOW and OVERFLOW bins.

Returns:

The maximum height among the in-range bins.

scale

public void scale(double scaleFactor)
           throws IllegalArgumentException

Scale the weights and the errors of all the IHistogram's bins (in-range and out-of-range ones) by a given scale factor.

Parameters:

scaleFactor - The scale factor.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the scale factor is negative.
