Method Detail

combineRaw

public double combineRaw(double rawdist,
                         double delta,
                         double prevdelta)

Description copied from interface: PartialDistance

Combine the distance information.

Specified by:

combineRaw in interface PartialDistance<NumberVector>

Parameters:

rawdist - Raw (often squared) previous distance

delta - New delta

prevdelta - Previous delta

Returns:

New raw distance

compareRawRegular

public boolean compareRawRegular(double raw,
                                 double reg)

Description copied from interface: PartialDistance

Check if a "raw" distance is less or equal a regular distance.

Specified by:

compareRawRegular in interface PartialDistance<NumberVector>

Parameters:

raw - Raw distance (usually squared)

reg - Regular distance

Returns:

True if less than or equal

distance

public double distance(NumberVector a,
                       NumberVector b)

Description copied from interface: PartialDistance

Specified by:

distance in interface PartialDistance<NumberVector>

Parameters:

a - First

b - Second

Returns:

Distance

transformOut

public double transformOut(double rawdist)

Description copied from interface: PartialDistance

Transform a raw distance to an output (external) distance.

Specified by:

transformOut in interface PartialDistance<NumberVector>

Parameters:

rawdist - Raw distance

Returns:

External distance
