Enum DecisionAlgorithm

java.lang.Enum<DecisionAlgorithm>

com.bayesserver.inference.DecisionAlgorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DecisionAlgorithm>

public enum DecisionAlgorithm
extends Enum<DecisionAlgorithm>

The type of algorithm to use when a network has decision nodes.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
DEFAULT	Use the default algorithm.
NONE	Any decision nodes are treated like standard probability nodes.
SINGLE_POLICY_UPDATING_FULL	A Single Policy Updating (SPU) algorithm, that can compute a wider range of queries than the 'light' version, but is less efficient that the light version, both in terms of memory and speed.
SINGLE_POLICY_UPDATING_LIGHT	A Single Policy Updating (SPU) algorithm, that is more efficient than the full version, as it treats the leaf MEU inputs as independent.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static DecisionAlgorithm	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static DecisionAlgorithm[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

SINGLE_POLICY_UPDATING_FULL

public static final DecisionAlgorithm SINGLE_POLICY_UPDATING_FULL

A Single Policy Updating (SPU) algorithm, that can compute a wider range of queries than the 'light' version, but is less efficient that the light version, both in terms of memory and speed.

NONE

public static final DecisionAlgorithm NONE

Any decision nodes are treated like standard probability nodes.

DEFAULT

public static final DecisionAlgorithm DEFAULT

Use the default algorithm. The default algorithm is subject to change as new algorithms are developed.

SINGLE_POLICY_UPDATING_LIGHT

public static final DecisionAlgorithm SINGLE_POLICY_UPDATING_LIGHT

A Single Policy Updating (SPU) algorithm, that is more efficient than the full version, as it treats the leaf MEU inputs as independent.

Method Detail

values

public static DecisionAlgorithm[] 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 (DecisionAlgorithm c : DecisionAlgorithm.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static DecisionAlgorithm 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
