Enum Constant Detail

SINGLE

public static final Hclust.Linkage SINGLE

Single linkage, i.e., minimum distance between cluster elements

AVERAGE

public static final Hclust.Linkage AVERAGE

Average linkage, i.e., average distance between cluster elements (UPGMA)

COMPLETE

public static final Hclust.Linkage COMPLETE

Complete linkage, i.e., maximum distance between cluster elements

Method Detail

values

public static Hclust.Linkage[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Hclust.Linkage c : Hclust.Linkage.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Hclust.Linkage valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
