Phil Steitz commented on MATH-1038:
-----------------------------------
Sorry for the slow response. Thanks for the patch! I like the idea and
implementation. I do have a few small comments:
1. I am not sure the generification of the confidence interval type is buying
anything and in fact I think it is an annoyance / in the way. I get that maybe
we would one day want to have Integer there; but to actually do anything with
the interval (like compute its width, half-width, etc.) or even to validate its
parameters you have to immediately get doubleValue. Number is just too weak a
type to be worth much here, IMO. It does not even implement Comparable. So I
would favor just using doubles and eliminating the type signature.
2. There is a lot of missing javadoc.
Thanks again for the patch.
