Method Detail

getRangeDouble

public static <V extends NumberVector<?,?>> DoubleMinMax getRangeDouble(V vec)

Return the range across all dimensions. Useful in particular for time series.

Type Parameters:

V - Vector type

Parameters:

vec - Vector to process.

Returns:

[min, max]

randomVector

public static <V extends NumberVector<V,?>> V randomVector(V template,
                                                           Random r)

Produce a new vector based on random numbers in [0:1] of the same type and dimensionality as the given vector.

Parameters:

template - existing instance of wanted dimensionality.

r - Random generator

Returns:

new instance

randomVector

public static <V extends NumberVector<V,?>> V randomVector(V template)

Produce a new vector based on random numbers in [0:1] of the same type and dimensionality as the given vector.

Parameters:

template - existing instance of wanted dimensionality.

Returns:

new instance
