Class Samples

java.lang.Object
org.moeaframework.analysis.sample.Samples
All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterable<Sample>, DataStream<Sample>, Displayable, Formattable<Sample>
public class Samples extends Object implements Iterable<Sample>, Formattable<Sample>, DataStream<Sample>
A collection of samples, typically associated with a parameter set that generated the samples.

Samples can be stored in a file using the save(File) and load(File, ParameterSet) methods. The file begins with a header line listing the parameter names. Then, each sample is written on its own line, with the parameter values separated by whitespace. The ordering of parameters must match the provided ParameterSet.
