All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<NoisyOrder>

public enum NoisyOrder
extends Enum<NoisyOrder>

Determines the order in which the states of a parent of a noisy node increasingly affect the noisy states.

Enum Constant Detail

ASCENDING

public static final NoisyOrder ASCENDING

The states of the parent affect the noisy node states in increasing order.

In this mode, the first state of the parent variable has no effect, then each subsequent state has increasing causal influence of the noisy node states.

DESCENDING

public static final NoisyOrder DESCENDING

The states of the parent affect the noisy node states in decreasing order.

In this mode, the last state of the parent variable has no effect, and previous states have increasing causal influence over the noisy node states.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static NoisyOrder 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
