Enum Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling

    • Enum Constant Detail

      • CONTINUOUS

        public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling CONTINUOUS
        A continuous variable is one for which, within the limits the variable ranges, any value is possible (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000251).

      • DICHOTOMOUS

        public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling DICHOTOMOUS
        A dichotomous variable is a categorical variable which is defined to have only 2 categories or possible values (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000090).

      • ORDINAL

        public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling ORDINAL
        An ordinal variable is a categorical variable where the discrete possible values are ordered or correspond to an implicit ranking (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000228).

      • POLYCHOTOMOUS

        public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling POLYCHOTOMOUS
        A polychotomous variable is a categorical variable which is defined to have minimally 2 categories or possible values. (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000087). Suggestion to limit code use to situations when neither dichotomous nor ordinal variables apply.

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling[] 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 (Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling c : Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling 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
