All Implemented Interfaces:

Statistic, Serializable

public class ElapsedCpuTime
extends Object
implements Statistic

Records the elapsed time of the algorithm in seconds. This is a placeholder, really; the elapsed time is calculated by the comparison class and recorded if this statistic is used.

Constructor Details

ElapsedCpuTime

public ElapsedCpuTime()

Initializes a new instance of the ElapsedCpuTime class.

Method Details

getAbbreviation

public String getAbbreviation()

The abbreviation for the statistic. This will be printed at the top of each column.

Specified by:

getAbbreviation in interface Statistic

Returns:

This abbreviation.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns a short one-line description of this statistic. This will be printed at the beginning of the report.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Statistic

Returns:

This description.

getValue

public double getValue(Graph trueGraph,
 Graph estGraph,
 DataModel dataModel)

Returns the value of this statistic, given the true graph and the estimated graph.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Statistic

Parameters:

trueGraph - The true graph (DAG, CPDAG, PAG_of_the_true_DAG).

estGraph - The estimated graph (same type).

dataModel - The data model.

Returns:

The value of the statistic.

getNormValue

public double getNormValue(double value)

Returns a mapping of the statistic to the interval [0, 1], with higher being better. This is used for a calculation of a utility for an algorithm. If the statistic is already between 0 and 1, you can just return the statistic.

Specified by:

getNormValue in interface Statistic

Parameters:

value - The value of the statistic.

Returns:

The weight of the statistic, 0 to 1, higher is better.
