Member Function Documentation

template<typename T>
virtual unsigned int CluE::ProxyProvider< T >::number_of_solutions ( ) const
pure virtual

returns the number of available solutions

The algorthm may compute more than one solution of possibly different size, where size means number of computed clusters, proxies (e.g. cluster centers) or the size of a coreset. The sizes can be retrieved by a call to size_of_solution().

Implemented in CluE::DoubleSolution< T >, and CluE::ProxySolution< T >.

template<typename T>
virtual unsigned int CluE::ProxyProvider< T >::size_of_solution ( unsigned int  index) const
pure virtual

returns the size of a particular solution

Parameters
indexnumber between 0 and number_of_solutions()-1
Returns
the size for the requested clustering

Implemented in CluE::DoubleSolution< T >, and CluE::ProxySolution< T >.

template<typename T>
virtual T CluE::ProxyProvider< T >::proxy ( unsigned int  solutionIndex,
unsigned int  proxyIndex 
) const
pure virtual

returns the proxy for the specified clustering and cluster

Returns the computed proxy for cluster number proxyIndex in clustering number solutionIndex.

Implemented in CluE::DoubleSolution< T >, and CluE::ProxySolution< T >.

template<typename T>
virtual std::vector<T> CluE::ProxyProvider< T >::proxies ( unsigned int  solutionIndex) const
pure virtual

returns the proxies for the specified clustering

Returns the computed proxies for clustering number solutionIndex.

Implemented in CluE::DoubleSolution< T >, and CluE::ProxySolution< T >.

template<typename T>
static ProxyProvider<T>* CluE::ProxyProvider< T >::toProxyProvider ( SolutionProvider s)
inlinestatic

does a dynamic cast of the given SolutionProvider to a ProxyProvider

Returns
NULL if the SolutionProvider is not a ProxyProvider instance
