Constructor Detail

AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet

protected AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet(Class<? extends AbstractBurnInTest> instanceClass)
                                  throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet with empty parameter values.

Parameters:

instanceClass - the class to be instantiated

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if instanceClass is null

AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet

protected AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet(Class<? extends AbstractBurnInTest> instanceClass,
                              int starts)
                                  throws IllegalArgumentException,
                                         SimpleParameter.IllegalValueException

Creates a new AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet with pre-defined parameter values.

Parameters:

instanceClass - the class to be instantiated

starts - the number of runs the Gibbs Sampler will be started

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if instanceClass is null

SimpleParameter.IllegalValueException - if starts can not be set

AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet

protected AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet(StringBuffer representation)
                                  throws NonParsableException

The standard constructor for the interface Storable. Constructs an AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet out of an XML representation.

Parameters:

representation - the XML representation as StringBuffer

Throws:

NonParsableException - if the AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet could not be reconstructed out of the StringBuffer representation

Method Detail

getNumberOfStarts

public int getNumberOfStarts()

Returns the number of starts.

Returns:

the number of starts

clone

public AbstractBurnInTestParameterSet clone()
                                     throws CloneNotSupportedException

Description copied from class: ParameterSet

Creates a full clone (deep copy) of this ParameterSet. As a convenience-method the user can use fillWithStandardFieldsForClone(ParameterSet) on a newly created instance of a subclass of ParameterSet to obtain a clone/copy of all standard member variables (those already defined in ParameterSet) in the passed ParameterSet. Using this method, the cloning process becomes merely three-step:

• Create a new instance of your subclass of ParameterSet, most likely with an empty constructor or the one taking just the instance class.
• Call this.fillWithStandardFieldsForClone on this instance.
• Return the instance.

This method fulfills the conventions of Object's method Object.clone().

Overrides:

clone in class ParameterSet

Returns:

a deep clone/copy of this ParameterSet

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException
