Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
CONTINUOUS	A continuous variable is one for which, within the limits the variable ranges, any value is possible (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000251).
DICHOTOMOUS	A dichotomous variable is a categorical variable which is defined to have only 2 categories or possible values (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000090).
NULL	added to help the parsers
ORDINAL	An ordinal variable is a categorical variable where the discrete possible values are ordered or correspond to an implicit ranking (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000228).
POLYCHOTOMOUS	A polychotomous variable is a categorical variable which is defined to have minimally 2 categories or possible values.

Enum Constant Details

CONTINUOUS

public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling CONTINUOUS

A continuous variable is one for which, within the limits the variable ranges, any value is possible (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000251).

DICHOTOMOUS

public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling DICHOTOMOUS

A dichotomous variable is a categorical variable which is defined to have only 2 categories or possible values (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000090).

ORDINAL

public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling ORDINAL

An ordinal variable is a categorical variable where the discrete possible values are ordered or correspond to an implicit ranking (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000228).

POLYCHOTOMOUS

public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling POLYCHOTOMOUS

A polychotomous variable is a categorical variable which is defined to have minimally 2 categories or possible values. (from STATO http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/STATO_0000087). Suggestion to limit code use to situations when neither dichotomous nor ordinal variables apply.

NULL

public static final Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling NULL

Method Details

values

public static Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Enumerations.EvidenceVariableHandling valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
