------------------------------------------
Summary: Avoid unexpected errors in EmpiricalDistribution
Key: MATH-1279
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1279
Project: Commons Math
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.5
Environment: Ubuntu 14.04
Reporter: David Georg Reichelt
Priority: Trivial
Loading an empirical distributions results in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
when giving 0 als bin size, for example in:
double values[] = new double[] { 1, 2 };
EmpiricalDistribution distribution = new EmpiricalDistribution(0);
distribution.load(values);
To keep the error more understandable to the user, it would be nice if an
RuntimeException or something like this would be thrown when initializing the
EmpiricalDistribution with 0 bins. Especially when following the rule of thumb
that there should be values size / 10 bins, it is hard to find out that the
error is caused by a wrong bin size.
