Class RelativeErrorBound

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FloatingPointTolerance

    public class RelativeErrorBound
    extends Object
    implements FloatingPointTolerance
    Checks equivalence based on the relative error between two floating point numbers. Two values are considered equal if this error is less than a fixed bound.

    Specifically, for two values v1 and v2 where v1 > v2 and a non-negative bound e, it is checked whether Math.abs((v1 - v2)/v1) <= e

      • RelativeErrorBound

        public RelativeErrorBound​(double epsilon)
        Define a fixed bound on the relative error of two floating point numbers.
        Parameters:
        epsilon - the fixed bound on the error
        Throws:
        com.pervasive.datarush.graphs.physical.InvalidPropertyValueException - if epsilon is negative.

      • isWithinTolerance

        public boolean isWithinTolerance​(float value1,
                                         float value2)
        Description copied from interface: FloatingPointTolerance
        Indicates whether the specified values are equal under the tolerance.
        Specified by:

        value1 - the first value to compare
        value2 - the second value to compare
        Returns:
        true if the two values lie with the error bounds, otherwise false
