public interface UnknownFeatureHandler
extends java.io.Serializable

An UnknownFeatureHandler is used by a ProblemDifferentiator to determine how to handle an unknown feature in problem comparisons.

Method Summary

double	differenceOfUnknownFeature(Problem p1, Problem p2, FeatureKey featureOfInterest, java.util.Collection indicesToUse) Estimate the difference between p1[featureOfInterest] and p2[featureOfInterest] given that one or both values may be missing, optionally making use of indicesToUse in this calculation.
java.lang.String	getAbbreviatedName() The abbreviated name of this unknown feature handler.
boolean	getDebugMode()
java.lang.String	getName() The name of this unknown feature handler.
void	setDebugMode(boolean debugMode)
