Enum Class FloatVectorMetrics

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<FloatVectorMetrics>

com.chemaxon.descriptors.metrics.FloatVectorMetrics

All Implemented Interfaces:

FloatVectorComparator, MetricMetadata, Serializable, Comparable<FloatVectorMetrics>, java.lang.constant.Constable

@Beta
@PublicApi
public enum FloatVectorMetrics
extends Enum<FloatVectorMetrics>
implements FloatVectorComparator, Serializable

Simple metrics for float vectors.

Please note that this enum is marked with @Beta annotation, so it can be subject of incompatible changes or removal in later releases.

TODO: add dot product, normalized dot product, vector product length and normalized vector product length metrics

Method Details

values

public static FloatVectorMetrics[] values()

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static FloatVectorMetrics valueOf(String name)

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