Method Summary

void	readEstimate(Graph graph, Estimate estimates, java.io.File input) Read from a given file estimates for nodes in the given graph.
Estimate	readEstimate(Graph graph, java.lang.String nodeType, AttributeCategorical attribute, java.io.File input) Read from a given file an estimate for nodes in the given graph.

Method Detail

readEstimate

Estimate readEstimate(Graph graph,
                      java.lang.String nodeType,
                      AttributeCategorical attribute,
                      java.io.File input)

Read from a given file an estimate for nodes in the given graph. Return these estimates in an Estimate object.

Parameters:

graph - The graph whose nodes are two be estimated

nodeType - The nodeType which the estimated object refers to

attribute - The categorial values to map estimation-names against.

input - The file from which to read estimations

Returns:

An Estimate object for the estimations read in. Nodes whose estimates were not in the given file have a 'null' estimate.

readEstimate

void readEstimate(Graph graph,
                  Estimate estimates,
                  java.io.File input)

Read from a given file estimates for nodes in the given graph. Fill these into the given Estimate object.

Parameters:

graph - The graph whose nodes are two be estimated

estimates - The Estimate object to fill in with the read in estimates.

input - The file from which to read classifications
