Method Detail

apply

double apply(CompareFunction[] compareFunctions,
           double[] cluster,
           double[] data,
           double[] fieldWeights,
           double[] missingValueWeights,
           double[] similarityScales,
           double pParameter)

Applies this AggregationFunction. Computes the distance/similarity of two vectors. Compare function, field weights, missing value weights and similarity scales at index i must correspond to cluster and data vector values at the same index.

Parameters:

compareFunctions - the CompareFunctions to measure distance/similarity between the vectors

cluster - the cluster seeds

data - the data vector

fieldWeights - field weights for each field/its values

missingValueWeights - missing value weights for each field/its values

similarityScales - similarity scales for each field/its values

pParameter - the p-parameter, only used by the Minkowski function

Returns:

the aggregation value computed by this function

name

String name()

Get the name of this function.

is

boolean is(ComparisonMeasure.Kind kind)

Gets whether the passed ComparisonMeasure.Kind is equal to the ComparisonMeasure.Kind of this function;

Parameters:

kind - ComparisonMeasure.Kind to be compared with

Returns:

true if the provided ComparisonMeasure.Kind is equals to the ComparisonMeasure.Kind of this function
