Class DataSet

java.lang.Object
  de.jstacs.data.DataSet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<Sequence>

Direct Known Subclasses:

DNADataSet

public class DataSet
extends Object
implements Iterable<Sequence>

This is the class for any data set of Sequences. All Sequences in a DataSet have to have the same AlphabetContainer. The Sequences may have different lengths.
For the internal representation the class Sequence is used, where the external alphabet is converted to integral numerical values. The class DataSet knows about this coding via instances of class AlphabetContainer and accordingly Alphabet.

There are different ways to access the elements of a DataSet. If one needs random access there is the method getElementAt(int). For fast sequential access it is recommended to use an DataSet.ElementEnumerator.

DataSet is immutable.

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getAnnotationTypesAndIdentifier

public Hashtable<String,HashSet<String>> getAnnotationTypesAndIdentifier()

This method returns all SequenceAnnotation types and the corresponding identifier which occur in this DataSet.

Returns:

a Hashtable with key = SequenceAnnotation type and identifier = SequenceAnnotation identifier

getSequenceAnnotationIndexMatrix

public int[][] getSequenceAnnotationIndexMatrix(String rowType,
                                                Hashtable<String,Integer> rowHash,
                                                String columnType,
                                                Hashtable<String,Integer> columnHash)

This method creates a matrix which contains the index of the Sequence with specific SequenceAnnotation combination or -1 if the DataSet does not contain any Sequence with such a combination. The rows and columns are indexed according to the Hashtables.

Here is a short example, how to interpret the returned matrix:

 int[][] matrix = s.getSequenceAnnotationIndexMatrix( rowType, rowHash, columnType, columnHash )
 
 if( matrix[i][j] < 0 ) {
        System.out.println( "There is no Sequence in the DataSet with this SequenceAnnotation combination");
 } else {
        System.out.println( "This is the Sequence: " + s.getElementAt( matrix[i][j] ) );
 }
 

Parameters:

rowType - the SequenceAnnotation type for the rows

rowHash - a Hashtable of SequenceAnnotation identifier and indices for the rows

columnType - the SequenceAnnotation type for the columns

columnHash - a Hashtable of SequenceAnnotation identifier and indices for the columns

Returns:

a matrix with the indices of the Sequences with each specific combination of SequenceAnnotation for code>rowType and columnType and -1 if this combination does not exist in the DataSet
