Gilles created MATH-1353:
----------------------------
Summary: "EmpiricalDistribution" has various shortcomings
Key: MATH-1353
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1353
Project: Commons Math
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Gilles
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 4.0
* Class uses file IO (CM should not be concerned with data persistence)
* Class uses the "java.net" API (ditto)
I'd think that the core functionality could be provided without supporting data
loading (from a file or a URL).
Data input would be via any of
* Collection
* Iterable
* Stream (Java 8)
A redesign goal should be to make the class immutable.
E.g. data source must be set in the constructor (rather than via a "load"
method); there would thus be a one-to-one correspondence between data source
and distribution instance.
