Enum Constant Detail

SUM

public static final PropagationMethod SUM

Sum propagation is the default method, used to perform standard probabilistic inference.

MAX

public static final PropagationMethod MAX

Max propagation is used to determine the most probable configuration of discrete variables, given any evidence entered. Also known as Most Probable Explanation (MPE).

Method Detail

values

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static PropagationMethod 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
