Returns:

a string representing the selected bits of the specified BitSet

Creates a new BitSet of fixed cardinality with randomly set bits.

Parameters:

cardinality - the cardinality of the BitSet to create

capacity - the capacity of the BitSet to create - the randomly generated indices of the bits set to true will be uniformly distributed between 0 (inclusive) and capacity (exclusive)

random - a Random Object to create the sequence of indices set to true - the same number occurring twice or more is ignored but the already selected bit remains true

Returns:

a new BitSet with randomly set bits

project

Parameters:

v - a DoubleVector to project

selectedAttributes - the attributes selected for projection

Returns:

a new DoubleVector as a projection on the specified attributes

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given selected attributes specify an attribute as selected which is out of range for the given DoubleVector.

project

public static SparseFloatVector project(SparseFloatVector v,
                                        BitSet selectedAttributes)

Provides a new SparseFloatVector as a projection on the specified attributes. If the given SparseFloatVector has already an ID not null, the same ID is set in the returned new SparseFloatVector. Nevertheless, the returned SparseFloatVector is not backed by the given SparseFloatVector, i.e., any changes affecting v after calling this method will not affect the newly returned SparseFloatVector.

Parameters:

v - a SparseFloatVector to project

selectedAttributes - the attributes selected for projection

Returns:

a new SparseFloatVector as a projection on the specified attributes

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the given selected attributes specify an attribute as selected which is out of range for the given SparseFloatVector.

indexOfNthSetBit

public static int indexOfNthSetBit(BitSet bitset,
                                   int nthSetBit)
                            throws IllegalArgumentException

Returns the index of the n^th set bit in the given BitSet. For the parameter nthSetBit, following condition is assumed: 1 ≤ nthSetBit ≤ bitset.cardinality(). Otherwise, i.e., if the Bitset contains less than nthSetBit set bits or nthSetBit is not a positive number, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException. The worstcase runtime complexity of this method is in O( bitset.cardinality()).

Parameters:

bitset - the BitSet to derive the index of the n^th set bit in

nthSetBit - which set bit to derive the index of

Returns:

the index of the n^th set bit in the given BitSet

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the Bitset contains less than nthSetBit set bits or nthSetBit is not a positive number
