public class StatisticsFormat extends TabularFormat<Statistics>
Formats a Statistics object. By default, newly created Statistics­Format instances will format statistical values in a tabular format using spaces as the column separator.

Example

    Number of values:     8726
    Minimum value:       6.853
    Maximum value:       8.259
    Mean value:          7.421
    Root Mean Square:    7.846
    Standard deviation:  6.489

Limitations

  • The current implementation can only format features — parsing is not yet implemented.
  • Statistics­Format, like most java​.text​.Format subclasses, is not thread-safe.

    • StatisticsFormat

      public StatisticsFormat(Locale locale, Locale headerLocale, TimeZone timezone)
      Constructs a new format for the given numeric and header locales. The timezone is used only if the values added to the Statistics are dates.
      Parameters:
      locale - the locale to use for numbers, dates and angles formatting, or null for the root locale.
      header­Locale - the locale for row and column headers. Usually same as locale.
      timezone - the timezone, or null for UTC.

  • Method Details

    • getInstance

      public static StatisticsFormat getInstance()
      Returns an instance for the current system default locale.
      Returns:
      a statistics format instance for the current default locale.

    • getInstance

      public static StatisticsFormat getInstance(Locale locale)
      Returns an instance for the given locale.
      Parameters:
      locale - the locale for which to get a Statistics­Format instance.
      Returns:
      a statistics format instance for the given locale.

    • getLocale

      public Locale getLocale(Locale.Category category)
      Returns the locale for the given category. This method implements the following mapping:
      Overrides:
      get­Locale in class Compound­Format<Statistics>
      Parameters:
      category - the category for which a locale is desired.
      Returns:
      the locale for the given category (never null).

    • getValueType

      public final Class<Statistics> getValueType()
      Returns the type of objects formatted by this class.
      Specified by:
      get­Value­Type in class Compound­Format<Statistics>
      Returns:
      Statistics​.class

    • isForAllPopulation

      public boolean isForAllPopulation()
      Returns true if this formatter shall consider that the statistics where computed using the totality of the populations under study. This information impacts the standard deviation values to be formatted.
      Returns:
      true if the statistics to format where computed using the totality of the populations under study.
      See Also:

    • setForAllPopulation

      public void setForAllPopulation(boolean allPopulation)
      Sets whether this formatter shall consider that the statistics where computed using the totality of the populations under study. The default value is false.
      Parameters:
      all­Population - true if the statistics to format where computed using the totality of the populations under study.

    • getBorderWidth

      public int getBorderWidth()
      Returns the "width" of the border to drawn around the table, in number of lines. The default width is 0, which stands for no border.
      Returns:
      the border "width" in number of lines.

    • setBorderWidth

      public void setBorderWidth(int borderWidth)
      Sets the "width" of the border to drawn around the table, in number of lines. The value can be any of the following:
      • 0 (the default) for no border
      • 1 for single line (│,─)
      • 2 for double lines (║,═)
      Parameters:
      border­Width - the border width, in number of lines.

    • parse

      public Statistics parse(CharSequence text, ParsePosition pos) throws ParseException
      Not yet supported.
      Specified by:
      parse in class Compound­Format<Statistics>
      Parameters:
      text - the character sequence for the object to parse.
      pos - the position where to start the parsing. On return, the position where the parsing stopped or where an error occurred.
      Returns:
      currently never return.
      Throws:
      Parse­Exception - currently always thrown.

    • formatObject

      public void formatObject(Object object, Appendable toAppendTo) throws IOException
      Formats the given statistics. This method will delegates to one of the following methods, depending on the type of the given object:
      Overrides:
      format­Object in class Compound­Format<Statistics>
      Parameters:
      object - the object to format.
      to­Append­To - where to format the object.
      Throws:
      Illegal­Argument­Exception - if the given object is not an instance of one of the above-cited types.
      IOException - if an error occurred while writing to the given appendable.

    • format

      public void format(Statistics stats, Appendable toAppendTo) throws IOException
      Formats a localized string representation of the given statistics. If statistics on differences are associated with the given object, they will be formatted too.
      Specified by:
      format in class Compound­Format<Statistics>
      Parameters:
      stats - the statistics to format.
      to­Append­To - where to format the statistics.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error occurred while writing to the given appendable.

    • format

      public void format(Statistics[] stats, Appendable toAppendTo) throws IOException
      Formats the given statistics in a tabular format. This method does not check for the statistics on differences - if such statistics are wanted, they must be included in the given array.
      Parameters:
      stats - the statistics to format.
      to­Append­To - where to format the statistics.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error occurred while writing to the given appendable.

    • clone

      public StatisticsFormat clone()
      Returns a clone of this format.
      Overrides:
      clone in class Tabular­Format<Statistics>
      Returns:
      a clone of this format.
