Class DummyAlgorithm<O extends NumberVector<?,?>>

java.lang.Object

de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.algorithm.AbstractAlgorithm<Result>

de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.algorithm.DummyAlgorithm<O>

Type Parameters:

O - Vector type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Algorithm, InspectionUtilFrequentlyScanned, Parameterizable

@Title(value="Dummy Algorithm")
@Description(value="The algorithm executes a euclidena 10NN query on all data points, and can be used in unit testing")
public class DummyAlgorithm<O extends NumberVector<?,?>>
extends AbstractAlgorithm<Result>

Dummy Algorithm, which just iterates over all points once, doing a 10NN query each. Useful in testing e.g. index structures and as template for custom algorithms. If you are looking for an algorithm that does nothing, you must use NullAlgorithm instead. While this algorithm doesn't produce a result, it still performs rather expensive operations.
