Member Function Documentation

clone()

Constraint* bpp::Constraint::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

Create a copy of this object and send a pointer to it.

Returns

A pointer toward the copy object.

Implements bpp::Clonable.

Implemented in bpp::IntervalConstraint.

Referenced by bpp::Parameter::operator=(), and bpp::Parameter::Parameter().

getAcceptedLimit()

virtual double bpp::Constraint::getAcceptedLimit ( double  value ) const

pure virtual

Give the nearest accepted limit for a bad value.

The difference with getLimit() is when the Constraint is open at the limit, in which case the retruned value is the limit +- 1e-12.

Parameters

value

The bad value.

Returns

The nearer limit.

Implemented in bpp::IntervalConstraint.

Referenced by bpp::BfgsMultiDimensions::doInit().

getDescription()

virtual std::string bpp::Constraint::getDescription ( ) const

pure virtual

Give a short description on the type of constraint.

Returns

A string which describes the constraint.

Implemented in bpp::IntervalConstraint.

Referenced by bpp::AbstractParameterAliasable::aliasParameters(), and bpp::ReparametrizationFunctionWrapper::init_().

getLimit()

virtual double bpp::Constraint::getLimit ( double  value ) const

pure virtual

Give the nearest limit for a bad value.

Parameters

value

The bad value.

Returns

The nearer limit.

Implemented in bpp::IntervalConstraint.

includes()

virtual bool bpp::Constraint::includes ( double  min, double  max  ) const

pure virtual

Tell if all the values in a given interval are correct.

Parameters

min,max

The bounds of the interval.

Returns

True is the value is correct.

Implemented in bpp::IntervalConstraint.

isCorrect()

virtual bool bpp::Constraint::isCorrect ( double  value ) const

pure virtual

Tell if a given value is correct.

Parameters

value

The value to test.

Returns

True is the value is correct.

Implemented in bpp::IntervalConstraint.

Referenced by bpp::ParameterList::matchParametersValues(), bpp::InvariantMixedDiscreteDistribution::restrictToConstraint(), bpp::Parameter::setConstraint(), bpp::ParameterList::setParametersValues(), and bpp::ParameterList::testParametersValues().

isEmpty()

virtual bool bpp::Constraint::isEmpty ( ) const

pure virtual

Tells if this constraints defines an empty set.

Implemented in bpp::IntervalConstraint.

operator &()

virtual Constraint* bpp::Constraint::operator& ( const Constraint &  c ) const

pure virtual

Intersect this Constraint with another one.

Parameters

c	the intersected Constraint

Returns

the intersection

Implemented in bpp::IntervalConstraint.
