### ToolBox

    public ToolBox()

Method Detail

### parseHashSet2IndexHashtable

    public static <K> Hashtable<K,Integer> parseHashSet2IndexHashtable(HashSet<K> set)

  This method converts a `HashSet` in a `Hashtable` with unique indices starting at 0. The indices are derived from the order of the `Iterator` of the `HashSet`.

  Type Parameters:
    `K` - the type of the keys
  Parameters:
    `set` - the set of keys
  Returns:
    a `Hashtable` with keys and unique indices starting at 0

### max

    public static double max(double[] array)

  This method returns the maximum of the elements of an `array`.

  Parameters:
    `array` - the array of values
  Returns:
    the maximum

### min

    public static double min(double[] array)

  This method returns the minimum of the elements of an `array`.

  Parameters:
    `array` - the array of values
  Returns:
    the minimum

### max

    public static double max(int start,
                             int end,
                             double[] array)

  This method returns the maximum of the elements of an `array` between `start` and `end`.

  Parameters:
    `start` - start position (inclusive)
    `end` - end position (exclusive)
    `array` - the array of values
  Returns:
    the maximum

### min

    public static double min(int start,
                             int end,
                             double[] array)

  This method returns the minimum of the elements of an `array` between `start` and `end`.

  Parameters:
    `start` - start position (inclusive)
    `end` - end position (exclusive)
    `array` - the array of values
  Returns:
    the minimum

### getMaxIndex

    public static final int getMaxIndex(double[] w)

  Returns the index with maximal value in a `double` array.

  Parameters:
    `w` - the given `double` array
  Returns:
    the index

### getMaxIndex

    public static final int getMaxIndex(int start,
                                        int end,
                                        double[] w)

  Returns the index with maximal value in a `double` array.

  Parameters:
    `w` - the given `double` array
    `start` - start position (inclusive)
    `end` - end position (exclusive)
  Returns:
    the index

### rank

    public static final int[] rank(double[] values,
                                   boolean sameRank)

  Ranks the values in `values`, where the greatest value obtains the lowest rank. The boolean `sameRank` allows to decide whether tied values should obtain the same rank.

  Parameters:
    `values` - the values
    `sameRank` - a switch whether tied values obtain the same rank.
  Returns:
    the ranks

### spearmanCorrelation

    public static double spearmanCorrelation(double[] v1,
                                             double[] v2)
                                      throws Exception

  The method computes the Spearman correlation of two vectors.

  Parameters:
    `v1` - the first vector
    `v2` - the second vector
  Returns:
    the Spearman correlation of the two vectors
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if the vectors have different length

### pearsonCorrelation

    public static double pearsonCorrelation(double[] v1,
                                            double[] v2)
                                     throws Exception

  The method computes the Pearson correlation of two vectors.

  Parameters:
    `v1` - the first vector
    `v2` - the second vector
  Returns:
    the Pearson correlation of the two vectors
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if the vectors have different length
