Class IntegralStatistic

java.lang.Object

ikr.simlib.statistics.Statistic

ikr.simlib.statistics.integral.IntegralStatistic

All Implemented Interfaces:

Printable, ResultTaggable

Direct Known Subclasses:

StdIntegralStatistic

public abstract class IntegralStatistic
extends Statistic
implements Printable

The classes IntegralStatistic or StdIntegralStatistic serve to record measured values, whose absolute value is not the only important factor, but also the duration of the value's appearance is of importance. Determining the utilization factor of a service unit (see Figure) or the average length of a queue are just a few examples.


Utilization of a service unit
The emphasis of time duration corresponds to integral creation by adding up the integral sections, that are created by each call of update(double) as a product of the returned measured value of the last update(double) call (with declaration of the system time) and the intermediate time interval. At the end of a batch this integral value is divided by the elapsed time since batch begin in order to obtain the mean value.

The following functions are available for evaluation:

• Time-emphasized mean value across all batches (getMean()) including a confidence interval (getConfidenceInterval())
• Value range (getMinimum() and getMaximum()) of returned measured values across all batches
• Time-emphasized mean value in reference to the current batch ( getBatchMean())

Results can be printed using the following keywords within a print format:

mean

Mean value of all batch integrals each divided by its own batch duration

cintmean

Confidence interval of the mean values in +/- notation

max

Greatest of all returned measured values during simulation

min

Smallest of all returned measured values during simulation

barea

Integral sum of the current batch divided by the duration of the batch
