Class InverseNormalUdf

java.lang.Object
  mondrian.udf.InverseNormalUdf

All Implemented Interfaces:

UserDefinedFunction

public class InverseNormalUdf
extends Object
implements UserDefinedFunction

A user-defined function which returns the inverse normal distribution value of its argument.

This particular function is useful in Six Sigma calculations, for example,

 WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Yield]
         AS '([Measures].[Number of Failures] / [Measures].[Population])',
         FORMAT_STRING = "0.00%"
     MEMBER [Measures].[Sigma]
         AS 'IIf([Measures].[Yield] <> 0,
                 IIf([Measures].[Yield] > 0.5,
                     0,
                     InverseNormal(1 - ([Measures].[Yield])) + 1.5), 6)',
         FORMAT_STRING = "0.0000"

InverseNormalUdf

public InverseNormalUdf()

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: UserDefinedFunction

Returns the name with which the user-defined function will be used from within MDX expressions.

Specified by:

getName in interface UserDefinedFunction

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: UserDefinedFunction

Returns a description of the user-defined function.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface UserDefinedFunction

getSyntax

public Syntax getSyntax()

Description copied from interface: UserDefinedFunction

Returns the syntactic type of the user-defined function. Usually Syntax.Function.

Specified by:

getSyntax in interface UserDefinedFunction

getReturnType

public Type getReturnType(Type[] types)

Description copied from interface: UserDefinedFunction

Returns the return-type of this function.

Specified by:

getReturnType in interface UserDefinedFunction

getParameterTypes

public Type[] getParameterTypes()

Description copied from interface: UserDefinedFunction

Returns an array of the types of the parameters of this function.

Specified by:

getParameterTypes in interface UserDefinedFunction

execute

public Object execute(Evaluator evaluator,
                      UserDefinedFunction.Argument[] args)

Description copied from interface: UserDefinedFunction

Applies this function to a set of arguments, and returns a result.

Specified by:

execute in interface UserDefinedFunction

Parameters:

evaluator - Evaluator containts the runtime context, in particular the current member of each dimension.

args - Expressions which yield the arguments of this function. Most user-defined functions will evaluate all arguments before using them. Functions such as IIf do not evaluate all arguments; this technique is called lazy evaluation.

Returns:

The result value.

getReservedWords

public String[] getReservedWords()

Description copied from interface: UserDefinedFunction

Returns a list of reserved words used by this function. May return an empty array or null if this function does not require any reserved words.

Specified by:

getReservedWords in interface UserDefinedFunction
