public class OtherLocation
extends java.lang.Object

OtherLocation contains the getOtherLocation method that identifies the closest topographical other in the database given a characteristics definition. See (the UTM_POINT_STATS table) to a given input location.

Method Detail

getOtherLocation

public static java.util.Vector<StatisticalPoint> getOtherLocation(StatisticalPoint point,
                                                                  int filter,
                                                                  java.sql.Connection connection)

The C5UTM.findSimilarPoints(...) method returns an unsorted Vector of similar StatisicalPoint pbjects. The static getOtherLocation(...) methods of this class executes C5UTM.findSimilarPoints(...) method (internally opening and closing a java.sql.Connection object), but allows a "filter" to be specified. Refer to the documentation of the public final ints in this class for details on filtering options. This version of the method backs off the standard deviation argument to C5UTM.findSimilarPoints(...) a total of 10 times.

Parameters:

point - a StatisticalPoint object

filter - see the static final ints in this class for info on filtering

connection - a java.sql.Connection

Returns:

a Vector containing the filtered results

getOtherLocation

public static java.util.Vector<StatisticalPoint> getOtherLocation(StatisticalPoint point,
                                                                  int tolerance,
                                                                  int filter,
                                                                  java.sql.Connection connection)

The C5UTM.findSimilarPoints(...) method returns an unsorted Vector of similar StatisicalPoint pbjects. The static getOtherLocation(...) methods of this class executes that method, but allows a "filter" to be specified. The filters are really just sorting/sifting algorithms. Refer to the documentation of the public final ints in this class for details on filtering options. This version of the method can reuse a Connection object if you already have one. The other methods in this class use this method.

Parameters:

point - a StatisticalPoint object

tolerance - a +/- range applied to the standard deviation metric to be searched

filter - see the static final ints in this class for info on filtering

connection - a java.sql.Connection to the database

Returns:

a Vector containing the filtered results
