Interface DeltaFunction<DATA>

Type Parameters:

DATA - The type of input data which can be compared using this function.

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

CosineDistance, EuclideanDistance, ExtractionAwareDeltaFunction

public interface DeltaFunction<DATA>
extends Serializable

This interface allows the implementation of a function which calculates the delta between two data points. Delta functions might be used in delta policies and allow flexible adaptive windowing based on the arriving data points.
