Constructor Detail

MAVector

public MAVector(double[] values)

Create an MAVector out of a double array

MAVector

public MAVector(int nelems)

Create an MAVector of the given length.

MAVector

public MAVector(Array a)

Create an MAVector using the given rank-1 array.

Parameters:

a - rank-1 array

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - is a is not rank 1

Method Detail

getNelems

public int getNelems()

getDouble

public double getDouble(int i)

setDouble

public void setDouble(int i,
             double val)

copy

public MAVector copy()

Create a new MAVector that is the same as this one, with a copy of the backing store.

cos

public double cos(MAVector v)

Cos between two vectors = dot(v) / norm() * norm(v)

Parameters:

v - cosine with this vector

Returns:

double result: cos between this and v

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if nelems != v.getNelems().

dot

public double dot(MAVector v)

Dot product of 2 vectors

Parameters:

v - dot product with this vector

Returns:

double result: dot product

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if nelems != v.getNelems().

norm

public double norm()

Get the L2 norm of this vector.

Returns:

double norm

normalize

public void normalize()

Normalize this vector, so it has norm = 1.0.
