Enum Constant Detail

CATEGORICAL

public static final PredictiveModel.VariableType CATEGORICAL

The associated variable can assume one of a limited number of values (categories).

ORDERED_DISCRETE

public static final PredictiveModel.VariableType ORDERED_DISCRETE

The associated variable can can assume a limited number of discrete, ordered values.

ONE_CLASS

public static final PredictiveModel.VariableType ONE_CLASS

The associated variable takes a single value.

QUANTITATIVE_CONTINUOUS

public static final PredictiveModel.VariableType QUANTITATIVE_CONTINUOUS

The associated variable can assume any real value within a range of values.

IGNORE

public static final PredictiveModel.VariableType IGNORE

The associated variable should be ignored.

Method Detail

values

public static PredictiveModel.VariableType[] 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 (PredictiveModel.VariableType c : PredictiveModel.VariableType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static PredictiveModel.VariableType 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
