All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public class TableFunction
extends Object
implements Serializable

Table function enables the user to define functions by giving a number of (argument, value) pairs, i.e. a number of base points on a plot. Supports various interpolation types. A call of get(x) will return a (possibly, interpolated) value of the function. A number of behaviors are supported for the case x is out of original argument range.
In case the function only supports discrete values (that were provided as the argument set), and no interpolation is allowed, a call of get(x) with x not matching any argument entry would result in exception thrown.

please use TableFunction(double[], double[], InterpolationType, int, OutOfRangeAction, double) constructor instead

Creates a new table function with the given arguments, values, interpolation type and out of range behavior type. Note that arrays are not copied; they are used by reference and can be modified.

Parameters:: arguments - the array of arguments (2 or more - recommended, no duplicates, can be sorted or not); values - the array of values (same size as arguments); interpolationtype - the interpolation type; outofrangeaction - the type of action performed for out of range arguments in get(); outofrangevalue - the value returned if argument is out of range

public TableFunction(double[] arguments,
 double[] values,
 TableFunction.InterpolationType interpolationtype,
 int approximationOrder,
 TableFunction.OutOfRangeAction outofrangeaction,
 double outofrangevalue)

Creates a new table function with the given arguments, values, interpolation type and out of range behavior type. Note that arrays are not copied; they are used by reference and can be modified.

Parameters:: arguments - the array of arguments (2 or more - recommended, no duplicates, can be sorted or not); values - the array of values (same size as arguments); interpolationtype - the interpolation type; approximationOrder - the order (1, 2, 3...) of the approximation polynomial if the INTERPOLATION_APPROXIMATION mode is selected; outofrangeaction - the type of action performed for out of range arguments in get(); outofrangevalue - the value returned if argument is out of range

Method Details

get

public double get(double x)

Returns the table function value corresponding to the given argument, subject to the currently set interpolation type and out of range handling.

Parameters:: x - the argument
Returns:: the table function value

setArgumentsAndValues

public void setArgumentsAndValues(double[] arguments,
 double[] values)

Sets the new argument and value arrays for the table function. The following checks are performed: arrays must be of the same length, there cannot be duplicate arguments. The arguments will be sorted if they are not

Parameters:: arguments - the array of arguments; values - the array of values

getArguments

Sets the new interpolation type for the table function. Valid types are: INTERPOLATION_NONE, INTERPOLATION_STEP, INTERPOLATION_LINEAR, INTERPOLATION_SPLINE, INTERPOLATION_APPROXIMATION.
In case of approximation please ensure that correct approximation order is specified (using setApproximationOrder(int) or in the constructor) before calling this method

Parameters:: type - the new interpolation type

setApproximationOrder

createCustomDistribution

public CustomDistributionAbstract<Double> createCustomDistribution(Random random)

Constructs a custom distribution from the TableFunction. Takes table function's interpolation type and check if it can be supported.

Parameters:: random - the random number generator that will be used
Returns:: CustomDistribution matching tableFunction
