Method Detail

assumeVectorField

public static <V extends FeatureVector<?>> VectorFieldTypeInformation<V> assumeVectorField(Relation<V> relation)

Get the vector field type information from a relation.

Type Parameters:

V - Vector type

Parameters:

relation - relation

Returns:

Vector field type information

getNumberVectorFactory

public static <V extends NumberVector> NumberVector.Factory<V> getNumberVectorFactory(Relation<V> relation)

Get the number vector factory of a database relation.

Type Parameters:

V - Vector type

Parameters:

relation - relation

Returns:

Vector field type information

dimensionality

public static int dimensionality(Relation<? extends SpatialComparable> relation)

Get the dimensionality of a database relation.

Parameters:

relation - relation

Returns:

Database dimensionality

computeMinMax

public static double[][] computeMinMax(Relation<? extends NumberVector> relation)

Determines the minimum and maximum values in each dimension of all objects stored in the given database.

Parameters:

relation - the database storing the objects

Returns:

Minimum and Maximum vector for the hyperrectangle

relationAsMatrix

public static double[][] relationAsMatrix(Relation<? extends NumberVector> relation,
                                          ArrayDBIDs ids)

Copy a relation into a double matrix.

This is not recommended unless you need to modify the data temporarily.

Parameters:

relation - Relation

ids - IDs, with well-defined order (i.e. array)

Returns:

Data matrix

getColumnLabel

public static <V extends SpatialComparable> java.lang.String getColumnLabel(Relation<? extends V> rel,
                                                                            int col)

Get the column name or produce a generic label "Column XY".

Type Parameters:

V - Vector type

Parameters:

rel - Relation

col - Column

Returns:

Label

relationUglyVectorCast

public static <V extends NumberVector,T extends NumberVector> Relation<V> relationUglyVectorCast(Relation<T> database)

An ugly vector type cast unavoidable in some situations due to Generics.

Type Parameters:

V - Base vector type

T - Derived vector type (is actually V, too)

Parameters:

database - Database

Returns:

Database
