Class Interval

java.lang.Object

org.protempa.proposition.interval.Interval

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Interval>

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultInterval, SimpleInterval

public abstract class Interval
extends Object
implements Comparable<Interval>

A representation of an interval, designed according to the definition of an interval in Combi et al. Managing Different Time Granularities of Clinical Information by an Interval-based Temporal Data Model. Meth. Inf. Med. 1995;34:458-74. This representation is also designed to be used in simple temporal problems, as defined in Dechter, R. et al. Temporal Constraint Networks. Artif. Intell. 1991;49:61-95.
