| PackageDescription | Java lightweight mathematics and statistics components - documentation
Commons Math is a Java library of lightweight, self-contained mathematics
and statistics components.
.
Commons Math is made up of a small set of math/stat utilities addressing
programming problems like the ones in the list below:
- Computing means, variances and other summary statistics for a list of
numbers
- Fitting a line to a set of data points using linear regression
- Finding a smooth curve that passes through a collection of points
(interpolation)
- Fitting a parametric model to a set of measurements using least-squares
methods
- Solving equations involving real-valued functions (i.e. root-finding)
- Solving systems of linear equations
- Solving Ordinary Differential Equations
- Minimizing multi-dimensional functions
- Generating random numbers with more restrictions (e.g distribution, range)
than what is possible using the JDK
- Generating random samples and/or datasets that are "like" the data in an
input file
- Performing statistical significance tests
- Miscellaneous mathematical functions such as factorials, binomial
coefficients and "special functions" (e.g. gamma, beta functions)
.
