Method Detail

getExtendedStatistic

Object getExtendedStatistic(String name)

Returns an object corresponding to the named statistic. In general the statistic will be displayed by calling its toString method, however if a Format object has been defined for this class (how?) then it will be used instead. By default the following formatters are defined

java.lang.Double

jas.util.ScientificFormat

jas.util.DoubleWithError

jas.util.ScientificFormat

If the method returns null, then the getStatistic() method from the subclass will be called instead. This simplifies the use of simple floating point statistics (no need to create a Double object for each one).

Parameters:

name - The name of the statistic to return
