Class StandardDeviationVisitor

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FeatureVisitor, FeatureAttributeVisitor, FeatureCalc

    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
