All Implemented Interfaces:

Storable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

BasicPluginTransitionElement, ReferenceBasedTransitionElement, TransitionElement

public class BasicTransitionElement
extends BasicHigherOrderTransition.AbstractTransitionElement

This class implements the probability distribution for a given context, i.e. it contains all possible transition and the corresponding probabilities for a given set of previously visited states. This class just implements the basic functionalities.

Constructor Detail

BasicTransitionElement

public BasicTransitionElement(int[] context,
                              int[] states,
                              double[] hyperParameters)

This is the main constructor creating a new instance with given context, descendant states, and hyper parameters.

Parameters:

context - the context (=previously visited state indices); last entry corresponds to the last state visited

states - the transitions to all possible states; if null then no transition allowed

hyperParameters - the hyper parameters for the transitions; if null then no prior is used

BasicTransitionElement

public BasicTransitionElement(int[] context,
                              int[] states,
                              double[] hyperParameters,
                              double[] weight)

This is the main constructor creating a new instance with given context, descendant states, and hyper parameters.

Parameters:

context - the context (=previously visited state indices); last entry corresponds to the last state visited

states - the transitions to all possible states; if null then no transition allowed

hyperParameters - the hyper parameters for the transitions; if null then no prior is used

weight - the weight for plotting the edges in Graphviz, enables to modify the edge length, larger weights imply shorter edges (default: 1)

BasicTransitionElement

public BasicTransitionElement(StringBuffer xml)
                       throws NonParsableException

The standard constructor for the interface Storable. Constructs a BasicHigherOrderTransition.AbstractTransitionElement out of an XML representation.

Parameters:

xml - the XML representation as StringBuffer

Throws:

NonParsableException - if the BasicHigherOrderTransition.AbstractTransitionElement could not be reconstructed out of the StringBuffer xml

Method Detail

appendFurtherInformation

protected void appendFurtherInformation(StringBuffer xml)

Description copied from class: BasicHigherOrderTransition.AbstractTransitionElement

This method appends further information to the XML representation. It allows subclasses to save further parameters that are not defined in the superclass.

Specified by:

appendFurtherInformation in class BasicHigherOrderTransition.AbstractTransitionElement

Parameters:

xml - the XML representation

extractFurtherInformation

protected void extractFurtherInformation(StringBuffer xml)
                                  throws NonParsableException

Description copied from class: BasicHigherOrderTransition.AbstractTransitionElement

This method extracts further information from the XML representation. It allows subclasses to cast further parameters that are not defined in the superclass.

Specified by:

extractFurtherInformation in class BasicHigherOrderTransition.AbstractTransitionElement

Parameters:

xml - the XML representation

Throws:

NonParsableException - if the information could not be reconstructed out of the StringBuffer xml
