Method Detail

getValues

Array<Number> getValues(String paramId)

Gets the array of values for the given parameter. The shape of this array must match the shape of the array of domain objects (from DiscreteDomain.getDomainObjects()).

Parameters:

paramId - The identifier from the Feature.getVariableIds() set of parameter IDs.

Returns:

the list of values for the requested member

getDomain

DiscreteDomain<P,DO> getDomain()

Specified by:

getDomain in interface Feature<P>

Returns:

the domain of the values contained with the feature. May not return null
