      de.jstacs.parameters.ParameterSet
          de.jstacs.parameters.InstanceParameterSet
              de.jstacs.parameters.SequenceScoringParameterSet

All Implemented Interfaces:
  GalaxyConvertible, RangeIterator, Storable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  BayesianNetworkScoringFunctionParameterSet, DGMParameterSet, SamplingScoreBasedClassifierParameterSet, ScoreClassifierParameterSet

    public abstract class SequenceScoringParameterSet

extends InstanceParameterSet

Abstract class for a `ParameterSet` containing all parameters necessary to construct an `Object` that implements `InstantiableFromParameterSet`. This parameter set handles the `AlphabetContainer` and if necessary the length of a sequence, so it is well suited as parameter set for `AbstractModel` and `AbstractClassifier`.

Constructor Detail

### SequenceScoringParameterSet

    public SequenceScoringParameterSet(Class instanceClass,
                                       AlphabetContainer.AlphabetContainerType type,
                                       boolean simple)

  Constructs an `InstanceParameterSet` having empty parameter values. This constructor should only be used if the object can handle sequences of fixed length.

  Parameters:
    `instanceClass` - the class of the instance
    `type` - the type of the alphabet(s)
    `simple` - determines whether the alphabet should be simple
  See Also:
    `AlphabetContainer.AlphabetContainerType`

### SequenceScoringParameterSet

    public SequenceScoringParameterSet(Class instanceClass,
                                       AlphabetContainer.AlphabetContainerType type,
                                       boolean simple,
                                       boolean variableLength)

  Constructs a `SequenceScoringParameterSet` having empty parameter values. The user can specify a-priori if the object can handle sequences of variable lengths. If that is the case the object is not queried from the user as it is `0` anyway.

  Parameters:
    `instanceClass` - the (sub-)class of the instance
    `type` - the type of the alphabet(s)
    `simple` - determines whether the alphabet should be simple
    `variableLength` - `true` if the object can handle sequences of arbitrary length, `false` otherwise

    `AlphabetContainer.AlphabetContainerType`

### SequenceScoringParameterSet

    public SequenceScoringParameterSet(StringBuffer representation)
                                throws NonParsableException

  The standard constructor for the interface `Storable`. Constructs a `SequenceScoringParameterSet` from its XML representation. Automatically calls the current implementation of `fromXML(StringBuffer)`.

  Parameters:
    `representation` - the XML representation as `StringBuffer`
  Throws:
    `NonParsableException` - if the `StringBuffer` `representation` could not be parsed

### SequenceScoringParameterSet

  The length parameter is set to `0`.

  Parameters:
    `instanceClass` - the (sub-)class of the instance
    `alphabet` - the `AlphabetContainer` for a sequence

Method Detail

### hasDefaultOrIsSet

    public boolean hasDefaultOrIsSet()

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`
  Returns `true` if all parameters in this `ParameterSet` are either set by the user or have default values. If any additional constraints are required on your parameters you should either specify some `ParameterValidator` on these parameters or implement these constraints by overriding this method in your implementation of `ParameterSet`. It is recommended to specify a useful remark which constraint failed in the member-variable `errorMessage`, which will be displayed to the user. In the overriding method `super.``ParameterSet.hasDefaultOrIsSet()` should be called prior to checking specific constraints.

  Overrides:
    `hasDefaultOrIsSet` in class `ParameterSet`
  Returns:
    `true` if all parameters have some allowed value set, `false` otherwise

### reset

    public void reset()

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`
  Resets all `Parameter`s in this `ParameterSet` to their default values or `null` if not default value was provided.

  Overrides:
    `reset` in class `ParameterSet`
  See Also:
    `Parameter.reset()`

### getAlphabetContainer

    public AlphabetContainer getAlphabetContainer()

### getLength

    public int getLength()
                  throws IllegalArgumentException

  Returns the length of the sequences the model can work on.

  Returns:
    the length of the sequences the model can work on
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the length is not correct, i.e. the length is not suitable for the chosen requirements

### fromXML

    protected void fromXML(StringBuffer representation)
                    throws NonParsableException

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`

  Throws:
    `NonParsableException` - if the XML code could not be parsed
  See Also:
    `ParameterSet.toXML()`

### getNumberOfParameters

    public int getNumberOfParameters()

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`
  Returns the number of parameters in the `ParameterSet`.

  Overrides:
    `getNumberOfParameters` in class `ParameterSet`
  Returns:
    the number of parameters in the `ParameterSet`

### replaceParametersWithRangedInstance

    protected void replaceParametersWithRangedInstance()
                                                throws Exception

  Description copied from class: `ParameterSet`
  Replaces all `Parameter`s in this `ParameterSet` by their equivalents implementing the `Rangeable` interface.

  Overrides:
    `replaceParametersWithRangedInstance` in class `ParameterSet`
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if these instances could not be created
  See Also:
    `ParameterSet.makeRanged()`

### getParameterAt

    public Parameter getParameterAt(int i)

  Returns the `Parameter` at position `i`.

  Overrides:
    `getParameterAt` in class `ParameterSet`
  Parameters:
    `i` - the position in the `ParameterSet.ParameterList`
  Returns:
    the `Parameter` at position `i`

### toXML

    public StringBuffer toXML()

  Description copied from interface: `Storable`
  This method returns an XML representation as `StringBuffer` of an instance of the implementing class.

  Specified by:
    `toXML` in interface `Storable`
  Overrides:
    `toXML` in class `InstanceParameterSet`

    the XML representation

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`

### clone

  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`
