pushParameterDefs

public void pushParameterDefs()
                       throws Exception

Throws:

Exception

getOutputDef

public Attribute getOutputDef()

Get the structure of the result produced by this function.

Specified by:

getOutputDef in class Function

Returns:

the structure of the result produced by this function.

getParameterNames

public String[] getParameterNames()

Returns an array of the names of the parameters expected as input by this function. May return null if this function can take an unbounded number of parameters (i.e. min, max, etc.).

Specified by:

getResult in class Function

Parameters:

incoming - the arguments to this function (supplied in order to match that of the parameter definitions

Returns:

the result of applying this function. When the optype is categorical or ordinal, an index into the values of the output definition is returned.

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem computing the result of this function

setParameterDefs

public void setParameterDefs(ArrayList<Attribute> paramDefs)
                      throws Exception

Set the structure of the parameters that are expected as input by this function. This must be called before getOutputDef() is called.

Specified by:

setParameterDefs in class Function

Parameters:

paramDefs - the structure of the input parameters

Throws:

Exception - if the number or types of parameters are not acceptable by this function
