Enum Constant Detail

PROBABILITY

public static final NodeDistributionKind PROBABILITY

The standard kind of probability distribution found in Bayesian networks.

EXPERIENCE

public static final NodeDistributionKind EXPERIENCE

A distribution which contains experience for the node, used in online learning.

Once an experience table is combined with the probability of a discrete node, this creates a a Dirichlet distribution which can be used in online learning.

FADING

public static final NodeDistributionKind FADING

A table which contains fading values used in online learning. A value of 1 in the table represents no fading. Fading can be used to decrease the importance of previous experience.

Method Detail

values

public static NodeDistributionKind[] 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 (NodeDistributionKind c : NodeDistributionKind.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static NodeDistributionKind 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
