All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class BinaryAdapter
extends DiscreteFunction

Class to convert a binary vector into a continuous vector for optimisation of continous problems by a binary optimiser. This still needs some experimental work though, to verify that it is working

Method Detail

getClone

public BinaryAdapter getClone()

Description copied from interface: Cloneable

Create a cloned copy of the current object and return it. In general the created copy will be a deep copy of the provided instance. As a result this operation an be quite expensive if used incorrectly.

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.

Object.clone()

evaluate

public double evaluate(Vector vector)

Evaluate the net.sourceforge.cilib.type.types.Vector by decoding the binary vector into a continuous vector and evaluate the results by feeding the result into the wrapped funtion.

Specified by:

evaluate in class DiscreteFunction

Parameters:

vector - The Bit vector to evaluate

Returns:

The result of the evaluation.

getMinimum

public Object getMinimum()

Description copied from class: DiscreteFunction

Accessor for the function minimum. This is the minimum value of the function in the given domain.

Overrides:

getMaximum

public Object getMaximum()

Description copied from class: DiscreteFunction

Accessor for the function maximum. This is the maximum value of the function in the given domain.

Overrides:

getMaximum in class DiscreteFunction

Returns:

The maximum of the function.

getBitsPerDimension

public int getBitsPerDimension()

Returns:

Returns the bitsPerDimension.

setBitsPerDimension

Parameters:

function - The function to set.

decodeBitString

public Vector decodeBitString(Vector bits)

Parameters:

bits -

Returns:

valueOf

public double valueOf(Vector vector,
                      int i,
