Method Details

getNumberOfElements

int getNumberOfElements()

Get the number of elements (e.g. corpus size) for the distribution.

Returns:

the number of elements

setNumberOfElements

@Deprecated
void setNumberOfElements(int n)

Deprecated.

as of v2.1

Set the number of elements (e.g. corpus size) for the distribution. The parameter value must be positive; otherwise an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Parameters:

n - the number of elements

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if n ≤ 0

getExponent

double getExponent()

Get the exponent characterising the distribution.

Returns:

the exponent

setExponent

@Deprecated
void setExponent(double s)

Deprecated.

as of v2.1

Set the exponent characterising the distribution. The parameter value must be positive; otherwise an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Parameters:

s - the exponent

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if s ≤ 0.0
