Constructor Detail

UniformPositionPrior

public UniformPositionPrior()

This empty constructor creates an instance with motif length -1.

UniformPositionPrior

public UniformPositionPrior(StringBuffer xml)
                     throws NonParsableException

The standard constructor for the interface Storable. Creates a new UniformPositionPrior out of its XML representation.

Parameters:

xml - the XML representation as StringBuffer

Throws:

NonParsableException - if the StringBuffer can not be parsed

Method Detail

getLogPriorForPositions

public double getLogPriorForPositions(int seqLength,
                                      int... starts)
                               throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from class: PositionPrior

The logarithmic value of the prior for specified start positions of the part motifs.

Specified by:

getLogPriorForPositions in class PositionPrior

Parameters:

seqLength - the length of the sequence

starts - the start positions of the part motifs

Returns:

the value of the prior for given start positions

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if something went wrong, e.g. the motif length is not set.

getLength

public final int getLength()

Description copied from class: PositionPrior

Returns the length that is supported by this prior. If all lengths greater than the minimal length are supported, this method returns 0.

Specified by:

getLength in class PositionPrior

Returns:

the length that is supported or 0 for all lengths

getInstanceName

public String getInstanceName()

Description copied from class: PositionPrior

Returns the instance name.

Specified by:

getInstanceName in class PositionPrior

Returns:

the instance name

getAdditionalInformation

protected StringBuffer getAdditionalInformation()

Description copied from class: PositionPrior

This method returns a StringBuffer containing additional information for the XML representation.

Specified by:

getAdditionalInformation in class PositionPrior

Returns:

a StringBuffer containing additional information for the XML representation

extractAdditionalInformation

protected void extractAdditionalInformation(StringBuffer xml)

Description copied from class: PositionPrior

This method extracts additional information from a StringBuffer.

Specified by:

extractAdditionalInformation in class PositionPrior

Parameters:

xml - the StringBuffer containing the additional information of the XML representation
