[jira] [Commented] (MATH-1234) Impossible NotStrictlyPositiveException after getStandardDeviation()

["Gilles (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1234?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14592657#comment-14592657 ] 

Gilles commented on MATH-1234:
------------------------------

What do you mean by "impossible"?  That it should not occur, or that it is not advertised in the javadoc?
Could  you please upload a unit test that shows the problem?

Did you try version 3.5 of Commons Math?

> org.apache.commons.math3.random.EmpiricalDistribution.density() calls 
> EmpiricalDistribution.getKernel which calls
> bStats.getStandardDeviation() -- bStats is SummaryStatistics
> and return result caused NotStrictlyPositiveException: standard deviation (0)
> in new NormalDistribution(randomData.getRandomGenerator(),
>                 bStats.getMean(), bStats.getStandardDeviation(),
>                 NormalDistribution.DEFAULT_INVERSE_ABSOLUTE_ACCURACY);
> As I understand, it shouldn't be so by contract of SummaryStatistics.
