Class ExperimentComparator

java.lang.Object

psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.experiment.ExperimentComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Experiment>

Direct Known Subclasses:

UnambiguousCuratedExperimentComparator, UnambiguousExperimentComparator

public class ExperimentComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<Experiment>

Basic experiment comparator. It will look first at the publications using a Comparator of type Publication. If the publications are the same, it will look at the interaction detection methods using AbstractCvTermComparator. If the interaction detection methods are the same, it will look at the host organisms using OrganismComparator. If the host organisms are the same, it will look at the variableParameters using VariableParameterComparator. This comparator will ignore all the other properties of an experiment.

Constructor Detail

ExperimentComparator

public ExperimentComparator(Comparator<Publication> publicationComparator,
                            OrganismComparator organismComparator)

Creates a new ExperimentComparator. It needs a Comparator of type Publication to compare publications, a OrganismComparator to compare host organisms and a AbstractCvTermComparator to compare interaction detection methods.

Parameters:

publicationComparator - : comparator for the publication which is required

organismComparator - : comparator for the host organism which is required

ExperimentComparator

public ExperimentComparator(Comparator<Publication> publicationComparator,
                            OrganismComparator organismComparator,
                            CollectionComparator<VariableParameter> variableParameter)

Constructor for ExperimentComparator.

Parameters:

publicationComparator - a Comparator object.

organismComparator - a OrganismComparator object.

variableParameter - a CollectionComparator object.

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(Experiment experiment1,
                   Experiment experiment2)

It will look first at the publications using a AbstractPublicationComparator. If the publications are the same, it will look at the interaction detection methods using AbstractCvTermComparator. If the interaction detection methods are the same, it will look at the host organisms using OrganismComparator. If the host organisms are the same, it will look at the variableParameters using VariableParameterComparator. This comparator will ignore all the other properties of an experiment.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<Experiment>

Parameters:

experiment1 - a Experiment object.

experiment2 - a Experiment object.

Returns:

a int.

getCvTermComparator

public Comparator<CvTerm> getCvTermComparator()

Getter for the field cvTermComparator.

Returns:

a Comparator object.

getPublicationComparator

public Comparator<Publication> getPublicationComparator()

Getter for the field publicationComparator.

Returns:

a Comparator object.

getOrganismComparator

public OrganismComparator getOrganismComparator()

Getter for the field organismComparator.

Returns:

a OrganismComparator object.

getVariableParameterCollectionComparator

public CollectionComparator<VariableParameter> getVariableParameterCollectionComparator()

Getter for the field variableParameterCollectionComparator.

Returns:

a CollectionComparator object.
