Constructor Detail

USMComplexityCache

public USMComplexityCache(Instance i,
                          double c,
                          double cs,
                          java.lang.Object ci,
                          Attribute a)

This is the constructor for the caching of the complexity esitmated needed to compute the distances between instances.

Parameters:

i - the instance of interest

c - the complexity of the instance object

cs - the complexity of the compressed instance object

Method Detail

getInstance

public Instance getInstance()

Simple function to return the instance of interest

Returns:

the instance associated with this cache

getComplexity

public double getComplexity()

Simple function to return the complexity of an instance of interest

Returns:

the complexity of an instance associated with this cache

getComplexityStar

public double getComplexityStar()

Simple function to return the complexity of the compressed instance of interest

Returns:

the complexity of the compressed instance associated with this cache

getCompressedVersion

public java.lang.Object getCompressedVersion()

Simple function to return the compressed version of the instance.

Returns:

the compressed object (for you to cast into byte[], String or whatever you chose)

getAttribute

public Attribute getAttribute()

Simple function to return the attribute for which has been compressed of the instance.

Returns:

the attribute which we are compressing for the USM

toString
