Interface Retrieval

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractRetrieval, kNN, RisingThresholdRetrieval, ThresholdRetrieval

public interface Retrieval

The retrieval classes handle how to obtain similar cases. The comparisons between cases are handled by the problem differentiator. Further restrictions on what kinds of cases can be retrieved are set by the retrieval conditions checker.
