Class CappedHistory

java.lang.Object
  de.jstacs.motifDiscovery.history.CappedHistory

All Implemented Interfaces:

History, Storable, Cloneable

public class CappedHistory
extends Object
implements History

This class combines a threshold on the number of steps which can be performed with any other History. Using a threshold ensures to converge using any other history.
