string Simulator.EmpiricalRandomVariable.describeVariable ( ITimeFormatter itf = null )

Return a human-readable description of this variable.

Parameters:

itf	If this parameter is specified, the numbers in the description will be formatted according to the given formatter.

Returns:

Implements Simulator.IRandomVariable.

double Simulator.EmpiricalRandomVariable.getMean ( )

Return the mean of this variable.

Returns:

Implements Simulator.IRandomVariable.

double Simulator.EmpiricalRandomVariable.getPercentile ( double n )

Provide the value that represents the nth percentile from the data contained in this variable. Most useful for empirical data.

Parameters:

n	A number between 0 and 100.

Returns:

Implements Simulator.IRandomVariable.

double Simulator.EmpiricalRandomVariable.getStddev ( )

Return the standard deviation of this variable. For empirical variables, standard deviation is calculated using the population variance (not a sample variance).

Returns:

Implements Simulator.IRandomVariable.

string Simulator.EmpiricalRandomVariable.getStringDescription ( )

Return a string representation of this random variable. This description could be fed back into RandomVariableFactory.create() to produce a duplicate of this variable.
