Class ProbabilityManager

java.lang.Object
  net.ontopia.topicmaps.viz.ProbabilityManager

public class ProbabilityManager
extends java.lang.Object

Manages probability values for given keys, so that all probability values always add up to 1. If a new probability value is added, the other values are added. This can be used to build up a probability distribution incrementally while ensuring that the probabilities never add up to more than 1, i.e. 100%. Currently not used anywhere. Should add a method that guesses a 0.0 ... 1.0 number and returns a corresponding key.

Method Detail

addProbability

public void addProbability(java.lang.Object key,
                           java.lang.Object compKey,
                           double compFactor)

Set key to be compKey * compFactor and adjust all values so that they still add up to 1 and at the same time, the value of compKey remains the same relative to other values.

Parameters:

key - The key to add (may be there already, in which case it's changed

compKey - Use the value of 'compKey' to create the value for 'key'

compFactor - Let 'key' = 'compFactor' * 'compKey'.
