Interface ContinuousModel

All Superinterfaces:

Model, QuickSerializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

SemanticDistanceModel

public interface ContinuousModel

extends Model

An interface for introspective models which take into account the continuous time sequence in which events arrive. Certain methods in Model are replaced or augmented by others to allow event recording to be parameterized by time.

Method Detail

record

public void record(QuickSerializable observation)

This method assumes the observation occurred at time now. (I.e., when the method was called)

Specified by:

record in interface Model

Parameters:

observation - Any event, value, etc. that this Model understands.

record

public void record(QuickSerializable observation,
                   Time time)

Record the observation and mark that it occurred at a particular time.

Parameters:

observation - the observation

time - the time it occurred

record

public void record(QuickSerializable[] observations)

This method assumes the observations occurred at time now. (I.e., when the method was called)

Specified by:

record in interface Model

Parameters:

observations - An array of events, values, etc., not necessarily all the same type, that this Model understands.

record

public void record(QuickSerializable[] observations,
                   Time time)

Record the observations and mark that they occurred at a particular time.

Parameters:

observations - the observations

time - the time they occurred
