Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
CONTEMPORAL	A standard node that is not repeated at each time step.
INITIAL	A node which cannot link to temporal nodes at time t > 0.
TEMPORAL	A temporal node, which can be queried or have evidence set at each time step.
TERMINAL	A node which cannot link to temporal nodes except for the last time slice.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static TemporalType	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.

Enum Constant Detail

CONTEMPORAL

public static final TemporalType CONTEMPORAL

A standard node that is not repeated at each time step. If a CONTEMPORAL node has an outgoing link to a TEMPORAL node, it is equivalent to the single Contemporal node having an outgoing link to the Temporal node at each time slice.

TEMPORAL

public static final TemporalType TEMPORAL

A temporal node, which can be queried or have evidence set at each time step.

INITIAL

public static final TemporalType INITIAL

A node which cannot link to temporal nodes at time t > 0. If an INITIAL node links to a TEMPORAL node then the link is only valid for t=0.

TERMINAL

public static final TemporalType TERMINAL

A node which cannot link to temporal nodes except for the last time slice.

Method Detail

values

public static TemporalType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (TemporalType c : TemporalType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static TemporalType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
