java.lang.Object

de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.distance.distancefunction.AbstractDatabaseDistanceFunction<O>

de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.distance.distancefunction.adapter.AbstractSimilarityAdapter<O>

Type Parameters:

O - object class to process

All Implemented Interfaces:

DistanceFunction<O>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ArccosSimilarityAdapter, LinearAdapterLinear, LnSimilarityAdapter

public abstract class AbstractSimilarityAdapter<O>
extends AbstractDatabaseDistanceFunction<O>
