Method Detail

getModelInterface

public Class<? extends Evidence> getModelInterface()

Description copied from interface: BioPAXElement

This method returns the actual model interface that a class implements.

Specified by:

getModelInterface in interface BioPAXElement

Returns:

an interface from org.biopax.paxtools.model package corresponding to a BioPAX class.

getConfidence

public Set<Score> getConfidence()

Confidence in the containing instance. Usually a statistical measure.

Specified by:

getConfidence in interface Evidence

Returns:

a set of scores representing confidence

addConfidence

public void addConfidence(Score confidence)

Confidence in the containing instance. Usually a statistical measure.

Specified by:

addConfidence in interface Evidence

Parameters:

confidence - a new confidence measure to add

removeConfidence

public void removeConfidence(Score confidence)

Confidence in the containing instance. Usually a statistical measure.

Specified by:

removeConfidence in interface Evidence

Parameters:

confidence - a confidence measure to be removed.

getEvidenceCode

public Set<EvidenceCodeVocabulary> getEvidenceCode()

A pointer to a term in an external controlled vocabulary, such as the GO, PSI-MI or BioCyc evidence codes, that describes the nature of the support, such as 'traceable author statement' or 'yeast two-hybrid'.

Specified by:

getEvidenceCode in interface Evidence

Returns:

a set of evidence codes for this evidence type.

addEvidenceCode

public void addEvidenceCode(EvidenceCodeVocabulary evidenceCode)

A pointer to a term in an external controlled vocabulary, such as the GO, PSI-MI or BioCyc evidence codes, that describes the nature of the support, such as 'traceable author statement' or 'yeast two-hybrid'.

Specified by:

addEvidenceCode in interface Evidence

Parameters:

evidenceCode - a new evidence code for this evidence.

removeEvidenceCode

public void removeEvidenceCode(EvidenceCodeVocabulary evidenceCode)

A pointer to a term in an external controlled vocabulary, such as the GO, PSI-MI or BioCyc evidence codes, that describes the nature of the support, such as 'traceable author statement' or 'yeast two-hybrid'.

Specified by:

removeEvidenceCode in interface Evidence

Parameters:

evidenceCode - to be removed

getExperimentalForm

public Set<ExperimentalForm> getExperimentalForm()

Description copied from interface: Evidence

Contents of this set should not be modified. Use add/remove methods instead.

Specified by:

getExperimentalForm in interface Evidence

Returns:

The experimental forms associated with an evidence instance.

addExperimentalForm

public void addExperimentalForm(ExperimentalForm experimentalForm)

Description copied from interface: Evidence

Adds an experimental form.

Specified by:

addExperimentalForm in interface Evidence

Parameters:

experimentalForm - associated with an evidence instance.

removeExperimentalForm

public void removeExperimentalForm(ExperimentalForm experimentalForm)

Description copied from interface: Evidence

Removes an experimental form.

Specified by:

removeExperimentalForm in interface Evidence

Parameters:

experimentalForm - associated with an evidence instance.

semanticallyEquivalent

protected boolean semanticallyEquivalent(BioPAXElement element)

Answers whether two Evidence objects are semantically equivalent. (Currently, it considers only member UnificationXrefs and EvidenceCodeVocabularies for comparison...) TODO: review; compare ExperimentalForm and Confidence values; or - simply always return false!

Overrides:

semanticallyEquivalent in class BioPAXElementImpl
