Class CompositeMeasurement

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.cilib.measurement.multiple.CompositeMeasurement

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Measurement, Cloneable

public class CompositeMeasurement
extends Object
implements Measurement

Measurement to perform measurements on a set of contained Algorithm instances. This type of measurement is generally only defined for MultiPopulationBasedAlgorithm.

Serialized Form

Constructor Summary

CompositeMeasurement()
Create a new instance with zero measurements.

Method Summary

void	addMeasurement(Measurement measurement) Add a measurement to the composite for evaluation on the sub-algorithms.
Measurement	getClone() Create a cloned copy of the current object and return it.
String	getDomain() Get the domain string representing what this measurement's results will conform to.
Type	getValue(Algorithm algorithm) Get the measurement values for all sub-algorithms.

Constructor Detail

CompositeMeasurement

public CompositeMeasurement()

Create a new instance with zero measurements.

Method Detail

getClone

public Measurement getClone()

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.

Specified by:

getClone in interface Measurement

Specified by:

getClone in interface Cloneable

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.

See Also:

Object.clone()

getDomain

public String getDomain()

Get the domain string representing what this measurement's results will conform to.

Specified by:

getDomain in interface Measurement

Returns:

The Domain String representing the represenation of the measurement

getValue

public Type getValue(Algorithm algorithm)

Get the measurement values for all sub-algorithms.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Measurement

Parameters:

algorithm - The top level algorithm

Returns:

The values of measurements applied to all contained algorithms.

addMeasurement

public void addMeasurement(Measurement measurement)

Add a measurement to the composite for evaluation on the sub-algorithms.

Parameters:

measurement - The measurement to add.
