NAME

       Statistics::Basic::_TwoVectorBase - base class objects like Correlation

METHODS

       query()
           Query  the  value  of  the  object.   It  will  return the undefined value until there's something to
           calculate.

       insert()
           Insert two new new values into the vectors.  This function must be given precisely two arguments  and
           probably shouldn't be undefined values in most cases.

               # insert a 4 in one vector and a 3 in the other
               $object_instance->insert( 4, 3 );

       append() ginsert()
           The  growing  insert  inserts new elements, growing the max size of the vector to accommodate the new
           elements (if necessary).  This function must be given precisely two arguments and probably  shouldn't
           be undefined values in most cases.

               # append a 4 in one vector and a 3 in the other
               $object_instance->ginsert( 4, 3 );

       query_size()
           The  current  size  of  the  vectors  -- regardless of their max size (as set by "set_size()").  This
           function returns a list, i.e.:

               my @s = $obj->query_size; # two values
               my $s = $obj->query_size; # the right hand value of the list

       set_size()
           Set the maximum size for the underlying Statistics::Basic::Vector objects.   This  function  requires
           two arguments.

       set_vector()
           Set  the  vector  objects used to calculate the object's value.  This function takes two arguments --
           which can either be arrayrefs or Statistics::Basic::Vector objects.  They must have the  same  number
           of elements.

               my $v1 = vector
               my $v2 = $v1->copy;
               $example_correlation->set_vector($v1, $v2);

OVERLOADS

       This class provides overloads.  If evaluated as a string, it will attempt to print a pretty value for the
       object  (or  "n/a",  see "query()" above).  the resulting string can be tuned, in terms of precision, see
       ipres for further information.

       If evaluated as a number, it will try to return  the  raw  result  of  "query()",  possibly  turning  the
       resulting  "undef"  (if  applicable) into a 0 in the process -- note that Perl does this 0-izing, not the
       overload.

       The "eq" and "==" operators are also overloaded, trying to do  the  right  thing.   Also  see  toler  for
       further information.
