Rob Tompkins updated MATH-1281:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 4.0)
4.X
> "Median" should not extend "Percentile"
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-1281
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1281
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.5
> Reporter: Gilles
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.X
>
>
> Class {{Median}} (package {{o.a.c.m.stat.descriptive.rank}} inherits several
> {{evaluate}} methods from {{Percentile}} where one of the arguments is the
> percentile value. That doesn't make sense, and easily allows for user bugs.
> Either those inherited methods should be overridden by methods that throw a
> "forbidden" exception, or perhaps more correctly (but not
> backwards-compatible), the methods with a specific percentile argument should
> be made "static". The latter would also fix the same problem in the
> {{Percentile}} class itself.
