http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36450 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-09-01 07:27 ------- The code should probably include a guard for this and throw a more meaningful exception, but this class is not designed to be used with very small data sets. Are you trying to produce random draws from a discrete distribution with point masses on the two values? This class is designed to use empirical data to simulate continuous distributions (see the reference in the class header comment). As stated in the Usage Notes section of the header comment, the binCount should be set to a number smaller than than the sample size. In this case, 1 is the only possible value; but this will not work, since bins of size 1 have no variance. So the minimum possible acceptable values are effectively 4 datapoints with binCount = 2. The javadoc should probably be updated to make this clear and a binCount - sample size guard should be added. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
