Enum Constant Detail

VALUE

public static final ColumnValueType VALUE

The column contains the value of a continuous variable or a value to match to a discrete State.getValue(). If a variable is discretized, this option can be used to match continuous values to the correct discrete Interval in a State.getValue().

INDEX

public static final ColumnValueType INDEX

The column contains the zero based index of a discrete variable state.

NAME

public static final ColumnValueType NAME

The column contains the name of a discrete variable state.

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static ColumnValueType 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
