Enum Constant Detail

NONE

public static final QueryDistance NONE

No distance is calculated.

K_L_DIVERGENCE

public static final QueryDistance K_L_DIVERGENCE

Kullback-Leibler divergence, D(P||Q) where Q is calculated using Base Evidence (or no evidence), and P is calculated from the standard evidence.

J_S_DIVERGENCE_BITS

public static final QueryDistance J_S_DIVERGENCE_BITS

Jensen Shannon divergence, JSD(P||Q) measured in BITS

Method Detail

values

public static QueryDistance[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (QueryDistance c : QueryDistance.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static QueryDistance valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
