Package io.jenetics.prog.regression

Interface Sample<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the sample type

public interface Sample<T>

Represents a sample point used for the symbolic regression task. It consists of an argument array and a result value. The sample point is comparable according its result() value.

Since:

5.0

Version:

5.0

Implementation Requirements:

The dimensionality of the sample point must be at least one, which means arity() >= 1.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
T	argAt(int index)	Return the argument value with the given index.
int	arity()	Return the dimensionality of the sample point arguments.
static <T> Sample<T>	of(T[] sample)	Create a new sample point from the given argument and sample result.
static Sample<Double>	ofDouble(double x, double y)	Create a new sample point from the given argument and sample result.
static Sample<Double>	ofDouble(double x1, double x2, double y)	Create a new sample point from the given argument and sample result.
static Sample<Double>	ofDouble(double x1, double x2, double x3, double y)	Create a new sample point from the given argument and sample result.
T	result()	Return the result of the sample point.

Method Detail

arity

int arity()

Return the dimensionality of the sample point arguments.

Returns:

the arity of the sample point

argAt

T argAt(int index)

Return the argument value with the given index.

Parameters:

index - the argument index

Returns:

the argument value with the given index

Throws:

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the given index is not within the given range [0, arity)

arity()

result

T result()

Return the result of the sample point.

Returns:

the result of the sample point

of

static <T> Sample<T> of(T[] sample)

Create a new sample point from the given argument and sample result. It represents the function arguments with the function value: f: sample[0:sample.length-1] -> sample[sample.length-1]. The last array element contains the result and the first n-1 elements are function arguments.

Type Parameters:

T - the sample type

Parameters:

sample - the sample point result

Returns:

a new sample point

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the argument array is empty

NullPointerException - if the argument array is null

ofDouble

static Sample<Double> ofDouble(double x,
                               double y)

Create a new sample point from the given argument and sample result. It represents the function arguments with the function value: f: x -> y

Parameters:

x - the argument

y - the sample point result

Returns:

a new sample point

ofDouble

static Sample<Double> ofDouble(double x1,
                               double x2,
                               double y)

Create a new sample point from the given argument and sample result. It represents the function arguments with the function value: f: (x1, x2) -> y

Parameters:

x1 - the first argument

x2 - the second argument

y - the sample point result

Returns:

a new sample point

ofDouble

static Sample<Double> ofDouble(double x1,
                               double x2,
                               double x3,
                               double y)

Create a new sample point from the given argument and sample result. It represents the function arguments with the function value: f: (x1, x2, x3) -> y

Parameters:

x1 - the first argument

x2 - the second argument

x3 - the second argument

y - the sample point result

Returns:

a new sample point
