Method Detail

fill

public void fill(double x)
          throws IllegalArgumentException
Fill the IHistogram1D with a value and the corresponding weight.

Parameters:
x - The value to be filled in.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If the weight is <0 or >1 (?).

fill

public void fill(double x,
                 double weight)
          throws IllegalArgumentException
Fill the IHistogram1D with a value and the corresponding weight.

Parameters:
x - The value to be filled in.
weight - The corresponding weight (by default 1).
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If the weight is <0 or >1 (?).

binMean

public double binMean(int index)
               throws IllegalArgumentException
The weighted mean of a bin.

Parameters:
index - The bin number (0...N-1) or OVERFLOW or UNDERFLOW.
Returns:
The mean of the corresponding bin.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If index is not a valid bin number.

binEntries

public int binEntries(int index)
               throws IllegalArgumentException
Number of entries in the corresponding bin (ie the number of times fill was called for this bin).

Parameters:
index - The bin number (0...N-1) or OVERFLOW or UNDERFLOW.
Returns:
The number of entries in the corresponding bin.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If index is not a valid bin number.

binHeight

public double binHeight(int index)
                 throws IllegalArgumentException
Total height of the corresponding bin (ie the sum of the weights in this bin).

Parameters:
index - The bin number (0...N-1) or OVERFLOW or UNDERFLOW.
Returns:
The height of the corresponding bin.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If index is not a valid bin number.

binError

public double binError(int index)
                throws IllegalArgumentException
The error of a given bin.

Parameters:
index - The bin number (0...N-1) or OVERFLOW or UNDERFLOW.
Returns:
The error on the corresponding bin.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If index is not a valid bin number.

mean

public double mean()
The mean of the whole IHistogram1D.

Returns:
The mean of the IHistogram1D.

rms

public double rms()
The RMS of the whole IHistogram1D.

Returns:
The RMS if the IHistogram1D.

axis

public IAxis axis()
Get the x axis of the IHistogram1D.

Returns:
The x coordinate IAxis.

coordToIndex

public int coordToIndex(double coord)
Get the bin number corresponding to a given coordinate along the x axis. This is a convenience method, equivalent to axis().coordToIndex(coord).

Parameters:
coord - The coordinalte along the x axis.
Returns:
The corresponding bin number.
See Also:
IAxis.coordToIndex(double)

add

public void add(IHistogram1D hist)
         throws IllegalArgumentException
Add to this IHistogram1D the contents of another IHistogram1D.

Parameters:
hist - The IHistogram1D to be added to this IHistogram1D.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If the IHistogram1Ds binnings are incompatible.
