Method Detail

getObservedValue

double[] getObservedValue()

Get the observed value.

The observed value is the value that was measured by the instrument.

Returns:

observed value (array of size #getDimension()

compareTo

default int compareTo(ComparableMeasurement other)

Measurements comparison is primarily chronological, but measurements with the same date are sorted based on the observed value. Even if they have the same value too, they will not be considered equal if they correspond to different instances. This allows to store measurements in SortedSet without losing any measurements, even redundant ones.
