INTEGRATOR OBJECTS
Integrator Objects support the approximate computation of continuous
integrals using discrete sums. The running sum(integral) is computed as:
sum_ += [lasty_ * (x lastx_)] where (x, y) is the last element
entered and
(lastx_, lasty_) was the element previous to that added to the sum.
lastx_ and lasty_ are updated as new elements are added. The first
sample point defaults to (0,0) that can be changed by changing the values
of (lastx_,lasty_).
$integrator newpoint x y
Add the point (x,y) to the sum. Note that it does not make sense for x to
be less than lastx_.
There are no configuration parameters specific to this object.
State Variables are:
SAMPLES OBJECT Samples Objects support the computation of mean and variance statistics for a given sample.
$samples mean
Returns mean of the sample.
$samples variance
Returns variance of the sample.
$samples cnt
Returns a count of the sample points considered.
$samples reset
Reset the Samples object to monitor a fresh set of samples.
There are no configuration parameters or state variables specific to this object.
