Boss

public Boss(ScoreWrapper score)

Constructs a new BOSS algorithm with the given score.

Parameters:

score - the score to use

Method Details

getComparisonGraph

public Graph getComparisonGraph(Graph graph)

Returns that graph that the result should be compared to.

Returns the true graph if there is one.

Specified by:

getComparisonGraph in interface Algorithm

Parameters:

graph - The true directed graph, if there is one.

Returns:

The comparison graph.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns a short, one-line description of this algorithm. This will be printed in the report.

Returns the description of the algorithm.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Algorithm

Returns:

This description.

getDataType

public DataType getDataType()

Returns the data type that the search requires, whether continuous, discrete, or mixed.

Returns the name of the algorithm.

Specified by:

getDataType in interface Algorithm

Returns:

This type.

getParameters

public List<String> getParameters()

Returns the list of parameter names that are used. These are looked up in ParamMap, so if they're not

Returns the parameters for the algorithm.

Specified by:

getParameters in interface HasParameters

Returns:

Returns the list of parameter names that are used. These are looked up in ParamMap, so if they're not already defined they'll need to be defined there.

getScoreWrapper

public ScoreWrapper getScoreWrapper()

Returns the score wrapper.

a knowledge object.

setKnowledge

public void setKnowledge(Knowledge knowledge)

Sets a knowledge object.

Sets the knowledge.

Specified by:

setKnowledge in interface HasKnowledge

Parameters:

knowledge - a knowledge object.
