Method Details

getValue

@Nullable
public static String getValue(FactorValue fv,
 String delimiter)

Produce a value for representing a factor value.

For continuous factors, this will return the value of the measurement. For categorical factors, this will be the subject (or |-delimited concatenation of subjects) of the statements. If there are no statements, FactorValue.getValue() will be used as a fallback.

This value is suitable for displaying in a flat file format. If you need a human-readable summary of the factor value, consider using getSummaryString(FactorValue) instead.

Parameters:

delimiter - delimiter used when joining multiple values from statements

getValues

public static String[] getValues(FactorValue fv)

getSummaryString

public static String getSummaryString(FactorValue fv)
