Class ParameterPair

java.lang.Object

edu.cmu.tetrad.sem.ParameterPair

All Implemented Interfaces:

TetradSerializable, Serializable

public class ParameterPair
extends Object
implements TetradSerializable

Implements an ordered pair of objects (a, b) suitable for storing in HashSets. The hashCode() method is overridden so that the hashcode of (a1, b1) == the hashcode of (a2, b2) just in case a1 == a2 and b1 == b2.
