Statistics

The base class Statistics

Abstract class for the estimation of statistics from a dataset.

Overview

The abstract Statistics class implements the concept of statistics library. It is enriched by the EmpiricalStatistics and ParametricStatistics.

Construction

A Statistics object is built from a Dataset and optionally variables names. In this case, statistics are only computed for these variables. Otherwise, statistics are computed for all the variable available in the dataset. Lastly, the user can give a name to its Statistics object. By default, this name is the concatenation of the name of the class overloading Statistics and the name of the Dataset.

Capabilities

A Statistics returns standard descriptive and statistical measures for the different variables:
