Phil Steitz commented on MATH-894:
----------------------------------
I never liked "apply" as a name. IIRC it goes back to the attempt at
functional programming style in the early days of the stat package. The idea
is that you "apply" a statistic to a set of data like applying a functor. I am
fine with calling it "compute" or even "evaluate" in RDA. I think the change
you suggest to clear() should be safe and an efficiency improvement. The only
problem would be code that somehow depends on unused storage only at the
beginning of the array, which is not an advertised invariant. Unit tests
should pick up any problems in the public API.

> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Gilles

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.1

>
> Method "addElement" should not call "contract()", as it will almost always
> make the storage array shrink on the first call since it will be considered
> "too big" (for just storing one element).
