Method Detail

buildIntervalList

public List<K> buildIntervalList(List<E> propositions)

Creates a chronologically ordered list of intervals and their associated propositions and values. The intervals returned will not necessarily be the same as those of the propositions. Multiple propositions could be associated to each interval, and a given proposition could overlap multiple intervals. The number of returned intervals will be at least as big as the number of propositions. The list will be sorted by Interval's natural ordering.

Parameters:

propositions - the list of AbstractParameters to put into intervals

Returns:

a list of CompoundValuedInterval, sorted chronologically based on Interval's natural ordering
