Method Detail

measure

public double measure(double[] a,
                      double[] b,
                      boolean[] computable)

Description copied from interface: Measure

Compute the measure between two data vectors

Specified by:

measure in interface Measure

Parameters:

a - The first data vector

b - The second data vector

computable - Boolean vector set to true except for indexes they must be ignored during the measurement

Returns:

The measure between a and b

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

hasNativeImplementation

public boolean hasNativeImplementation()

Description copied from interface: Measure

Know if the measure owns a native implementation

Specified by:

hasNativeImplementation in interface Measure

Returns:

True if the measure is also natively implemented

requireDataTransformation

public boolean requireDataTransformation()

Description copied from interface: Measure

Know if the measure need to transform input data (input data are copied to be preserved)

Specified by:

requireDataTransformation in interface Measure

Returns:

True if the input data require some transformation

transform

public void transform(double[][] data)

Description copied from interface: Measure

The transformation method called before measurement

Specified by:

transform in interface Measure

Parameters:

data - An input data vector to be measured
