Constructor Detail

ProgressiveSimilarityMeasure

public ProgressiveSimilarityMeasure(List<? extends SimilarityMeasure<O>> measures)

Parameters:

measures - measures

Method Detail

isSymmetric

public boolean isSymmetric()

Specified by:

isSymmetric in interface SimilarityMeasure<O>

Returns:

true if compare(A,B) == compare (B,A)

compare

public double compare(O anObject,
                      O anotherObject)

Description copied from interface: SimilarityMeasure

Compares the two input objects. It required for this interface to implement this method in accordance to the equals method available for O. If isSymmetric returns true, then it must hold that compare(A,B) == compare (B,A).

Specified by:

compare in interface SimilarityMeasure<O>

Parameters:

anObject - the first object to compare. cannot be null.

anotherObject - the first object to compare. cannot be null.

Returns:

a number between 0 and 1. 1 corresponds to maximum similarity, 0 to minimal

getMeasureList

public final List<SimilarityMeasure<O>> getMeasureList()

Returns:

the measureList
