Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Kernel

(

)

Default constructor.

This should generally only be used when the object is to be restored from a serialization.

Definition at line 5 of file Kernel.cpp.

Kernel

(

const double

h

)

Constructor.

Parameters:

h

; the scaling parameter (bandwidth).

Definition at line 9 of file Kernel.cpp.

~Kernel

(

)

[pure virtual]

Destructor.

Definition at line 13 of file Kernel.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

double getBandwidth

(

)

const [inline]

Get kernel bandwidth.

Returns:

Kernel bandwidth.

Definition at line 94 of file Kernel.hpp.

bool operator<

(

const Kernel &

o

)

const [inline]

Comparison operator for sorting etc.

Parameters:

o

Object to which to compare.

Returns:

True if the bandwidth of this is less than the bandwidth of o.

Definition at line 98 of file Kernel.hpp.

virtual double operator()

(

const double

x

)

const [pure virtual]

Evaluate the kernel.

Parameters:

x

Point at which to evaluate the kernel.

Returns:

Density of the kernel at the given point.

Implemented in AlmostGaussianKernel, and GaussianKernel.
