Class StandardDeviationVisitor

Object

StandardDeviationVisitor

All Implemented Interfaces:

FeatureAttributeVisitor, FeatureCalc, FeatureVisitor

public class StandardDeviationVisitor
extends Object
implements FeatureCalc, FeatureAttributeVisitor

Determines the standard deviation.

            ----------------------------
            |  1   ---
 Std dev =  | ___  \   ( x - mean ) ^ 2
           \|  N   /__
 

aka std dev = sqrt((sum((x-mean)^2))/N) where N is the number of samples.

It uses the rolling variance algorithm described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_for_calculating_variance#On-line_algorithm
