I need to transform list (time, channel) which is sorted by time ascending:
[15, A], [16, B], [17, C], [20, A], [22, C], [24, B], [26, C], [27, B], [28, A]
to this one:
[6.5, A], // ((20-15)+(28-20))/2 - average difference between elements (channel A)
[5.5, B], // ((24-16)+(27-24))/2
[4.5, C] // ((22-17)+(26-22))/2
using java streams.
Well, supposing that there is something like ChannelInfo
class:
class ChannelInfo {
private final int time;
private final String channel;
// constructor, getters, setters
it could be achieved like this:
List<ChannelInfo> pairs = Arrays.asList(
new ChannelInfo(15, "A"), new ChannelInfo(16, "B"),
new ChannelInfo(17, "C"), new ChannelInfo(20, "A"),
new ChannelInfo(22, "C"), new ChannelInfo(24, "B"),
new ChannelInfo(26, "C"), new ChannelInfo(27, "B"),
new ChannelInfo(28, "A"));
Map<String, Double> map = pairs.stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(ChannelInfo::getChannel,
Collectors.collectingAndThen(Collectors.toList(),
list -> {
int size = list.size();
return IntStream.range(1, size)
.map(x -> (list.get(size - x).getTime() - list.get(size - x - 1).getTime()))
.average()
.orElse(0d);
})));
System.out.println(map); // {A=6.5, B=5.5, C=4.5}
