Class WeightedSet

java.lang.Object
  java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
      java.util.AbstractSet
          org.biojavax.ga.util.WeightedSet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable, Collection, Set

public class WeightedSet
extends AbstractSet
implements Serializable

Inspred by the BioJava Distribution objects the WeightedSet is a map from a Key to a Weight. Unlike Distributions the Keys do not have to be Symbols. In the GA package the WeightedMap is useful for sampling Organisms according to their fitness.

When Symbols are added or their weights are set then the weights are internally normalized to 1

Constructor Detail

WeightedSet

public WeightedSet()

Method Detail

asMap

public Map asMap()

Converts the Set to a map from key Objects to Double weights.

Returns:

a Map with all the key-weight mappings. Weights are not normalized in this map.

sample

public Object sample()

Randomly samples an Object from the Set according to its weight.

Returns:

the Object sampled.

getWeight

public double getWeight(Object o)
                 throws NoSuchElementException

Determines the normalized weight for o

Parameters:

o - the Object you want to know the weight of

Returns:

the normalized weight

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - if o is not found in this set

getTotalWeight

protected double getTotalWeight()

The total weight that has been added to this Set.

Returns:

the total weight (the value that can be used for normalizing)

setWeight

public void setWeight(Object o,
                      double w)

Sets the weight of an Object. If the Object is not in this Set then it is added.

Parameters:

o - the Object

w - the weight.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if w is < 0.0
