getTechnicalInformation

public TechnicalInformation getTechnicalInformation()

Returns an instance of a TechnicalInformation object, containing detailed information about the technical background of this class, e.g., paper reference or book this class is based on.

splitNode

public void splitNode(KDTreeNode node,
             int numNodesCreated,
             double[][] nodeRanges,
             double[][] universe)
               throws Exception

Splits a node into two such that the overall sum of squared distances of points to their centres on both sides of the (axis-parallel) splitting plane is minimum. The two nodes created after the whole splitting are correctly initialised. And, node.left and node.right are set appropriately.

Specified by:

splitNode in class KDTreeNodeSplitter

Parameters:

node - The node to split.

numNodesCreated - The number of nodes that so far have been created for the tree, so that the newly created nodes are assigned correct/meaningful node numbers/ids.

nodeRanges - The attributes' range for the points inside the node that is to be split.

universe - The attributes' range for the whole point-space.

Throws:

Exception - If there is some problem in splitting the given node.

getRevision

public String getRevision()

Returns the revision string.

Specified by:

getRevision in interface RevisionHandler

Overrides:

getRevision in class KDTreeNodeSplitter

Returns:

the revision
