Detailed Description

Provides simple statistical analysis.

Simple statistical analysis package. Prominent features are:

  1. It does not use any floating point arithmetic.
  2. It handles positive and/or negative sample values. The sample value type is ACE_INT32.
  3. It uses 64 bit unsigned, but not 64 bit signed, quantities internally.
  4. It checks for overflow of internal state.
  5. It has no static variables of other than built-in types.

Example usage:

 * ACE_Stats stats;
 * for (u_int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
 * {
 * const ACE_UINT32 sample = ...;
 * stats.sample (sample);
 * }
 * stats.print_summary (3);
 * 

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Stats::ACE_Stats ( void   ) 

Default constructor.


Member Function Documentation

void ACE_Stats::dump ( void   )  const

Print summary statistics to stdout.

ACE_INT32 ACE_Stats::max_value ( void   )  const

Value of the maximum sample provided so far.

void ACE_Stats::mean ( ACE_Stats_Value mean,
const ACE_UINT32  scale_factor = 1 
)

Access the mean of all samples provided so far. The fractional part is to the specified number of digits. E.g., 3 fractional digits specifies that the fractional part is in thousandths.

ACE_INT32 ACE_Stats::min_value ( void   )  const

Value of the minimum sample provided so far.

int ACE_Stats::print_summary ( const u_int  precision,
const ACE_UINT32  scale_factor = 1,
FILE *  file = stdout 
) const

Print summary statistics. If scale_factor is not 1, then the results are divided by it, i.e., each of the samples is scaled down by it. If internal overflow is reached with the specified scale factor, it successively tries to reduce it. Returns -1 if there is overflow even with a 0 scale factor.

void ACE_Stats::quotient ( const ACE_Stats_Value dividend,
const ACE_UINT32  divisor,
ACE_Stats_Value quotient 
) [static]

Utility division function, for ACE_Stats_Value dividend.

void ACE_Stats::quotient ( const ACE_UINT64  dividend,
const ACE_UINT32  divisor,
ACE_Stats_Value quotient 
) [static]

Utility division function, for ACE_UINT64 dividend.

void ACE_Stats::reset ( void   ) 

Initialize internal state.

int ACE_Stats::sample ( const ACE_INT32  value  ) 

Provide a new sample. Returns 0 on success, -1 if it fails due to running out of memory, or to rolling over of the sample count.

ACE_UINT32 ACE_Stats::samples ( void   )  const

Access the number of samples provided so far.

void ACE_Stats::square_root ( const ACE_UINT64  n,
ACE_Stats_Value square_root 
) [static]

Sqrt function, which uses an oversimplified version of Newton's method. It's not fast, but it doesn't require floating point support.

int ACE_Stats::std_dev ( ACE_Stats_Value std_dev,
const ACE_UINT32  scale_factor = 1 
)

Access the standard deviation, whole and fractional parts. See description of {mean} method for argument descriptions.
