Method Detail

evaluate

public ValueEval evaluate(ValueEval[] args,
                          int srcRowIndex,
                          int srcColumnIndex)

Specified by:: evaluate in interface Function

Parameters:: args - the evaluated function arguments. Empty values are represented with BlankEval or MissingArgEval, never null.; srcRowIndex - row index of the cell containing the formula under evaluation; srcColumnIndex - column index of the cell containing the formula under evaluation
Returns:: The evaluated result, possibly an ErrorEval, never null. Note - Excel uses the error code #NUM! instead of IEEE NaN, so when numeric functions evaluate to Double.NaN be sure to translate the result to ErrorEval.NUM_ERROR.

irr

public static double irr(double[] income)

Computes the internal rate of return using an estimated irr of 10 percent.

Parameters:: income - the income values.
Returns:: the irr.

irr

public static double irr(double[] values,
                         double guess)

Calculates IRR using the Newton-Raphson Method.

Starting with the guess, the method cycles through the calculation until the result is accurate within 0.00001 percent. If IRR can't find a result that works after 20 tries, the Double.NaN<> is returned.

The implementation is inspired by the NewtonSolver from the Apache Commons-Math library,

Parameters:: values - the income values.; guess - the initial guess of irr.
Returns:: the irr value. The method returns Double.NaN if the maximum iteration count is exceeded
