Specified by:

dimension in class MultiscaleFunction

Parameters:

j - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

dimension

public abstract int dimension()

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

dimension in class MultiscaleFunction

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

DOCUMENT ME!

Overrides:

clone in class MultiscaleFunction

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

toString

public abstract java.lang.String toString()

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

toString in class MultiscaleFunction

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

evaluate

public abstract double[] evaluate(int parm1)

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

evaluate in class MultiscaleFunction

Parameters:

parm1 - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

getFilterType

public abstract int getFilterType()

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

getFilterType in class MultiscaleFunction

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

equals

public abstract boolean equals(java.lang.Object parm1)

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

equals in class MultiscaleFunction

Parameters:

parm1 - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

interpolate

public abstract double[] interpolate(int j)

The interpolate method should be return the actual value of the spline on knots. This value would differ in general from the value generated by the Cascades algorithm and got from the method evaluate. This doesn't apply to splines of order -1,0 and 1.

Parameters:

j - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!
