Method Detail

getDefaultVariableType

public int getDefaultVariableType()

Description copied from interface: Feature

Get the variable type (for example, Feature.NOMINAL_VARIABLE, Feature.ORDINAL_VARIABLE, Feature.INTERVAL_VARIABLE, or Feature.OTHER_VARIABLE).

Specified by:

getDefaultVariableType in interface Feature

getFeatureInputPanel

public static FeatureInputPanel getFeatureInputPanel(int collectionType,
                                                     Domain domain,

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

forces desendants to re-implement clone!! interesting left this in makes you think about clone(). usually use a copy constructor if anything

Specified by:

clone in interface Feature

Specified by:

clone in class AbstractFeature

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object new_value)

Specified by:

setValue in interface Feature

midpoint

public Feature midpoint(Feature other_feature)

Specified by:

midpoint in interface Feature

Specified by:

midpoint in class AbstractFeature

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object otherFeature)

Compare this feature with another. It is assumed that otherFeature is a CharacterFeature. Return value is < 0 (here, -1) if "this" is less than otherFeature.
Return value is > 0 (here, 1) if "this" is greater than otherFeature.
Return value is = 0 (here, 0) if "this" equals otherFeature.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Overrides:

compareTo in class AbstractFeature

getTypeDescription

public static java.lang.String getTypeDescription()

getValueAsDouble

public double getValueAsDouble()

Description copied from interface: DoubleRepresentable

Get a representation of this feature as a double.

Specified by:

getValueAsDouble in interface DoubleRepresentable

setValueWithDouble

public void setValueWithDouble(double newValue)

Description copied from interface: DoubleRepresentable

Set the value of this feature according to a double.

Specified by:

setValueWithDouble in interface DoubleRepresentable
