Class IntMean

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.util.function.DoubleSupplier, java.util.function.IntConsumer, java.util.function.IntSupplier, java.util.function.LongSupplier, IntStatistic, StatisticAccumulator<IntMean>, StatisticResult

    public final class IntMean
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements IntStatistic, StatisticAccumulator<IntMean>
    Computes the arithmetic mean of the available values. Uses the following definition of the sample mean:

    \[ \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n x_i \]

    where \( n \) is the number of samples.

    • The result is NaN if no values are added.

    This class uses an exact integer sum to compute the mean. Supports up to 263 (exclusive) observations. This implementation does not check for overflow of the count.

    This class is designed to work with (though does not require) streams.

    This implementation is not thread safe. If multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least one of the threads invokes the accept or combine method, it must be synchronized externally.

    However, it is safe to use accept and combine as accumulator and combiner functions of Collector on a parallel stream, because the parallel implementation of Stream.collect() provides the necessary partitioning, isolation, and merging of results for safe and efficient parallel execution.
