## weka.classifiers.misc.monotone
Class MultiDimensionalSort

    java.lang.Object
      weka.classifiers.misc.monotone.MultiDimensionalSort

All Implemented Interfaces:
  RevisionHandler

    public class MultiDimensionalSort

extends java.lang.Object
implements RevisionHandler

Class for doing multidimensional sorting, using an array of `Comparator.` The goal is to sort an array topologically. If `o1` and `o2` are two objects of the array `a,` and for all valid indices `i` in the array `c` if holds that `c[i].compare(o1,o2) < 0` then `o1` comes before `o2` in the sorted array.

A typical is the sorting of vectors in an n-dimensional space, where the ordering is determined by the product ordering.

This implementation is part of the master's thesis: "Studie en implementatie van instantie-gebaseerde algoritmen voor gesuperviseerd rangschikken", Stijn Lievens, Ghent University, 2004.

Method Detail

### multiDimensionalSort

    public static void multiDimensionalSort(java.lang.Object[] a,
                                            java.util.Comparator[] c)

  Sort an array using different comparators.

  Parameters:
    `a` - the array to be sorted. The sorted array is returned in the array `a` itself.
    `c` - an array holding the different comparators

### multiDimensionalSort

    public static void multiDimensionalSort(java.lang.Object[] a,
                                            int fromIndex,
                                            int toIndex,
                                            java.util.Comparator[] c)
                                     throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

  Sort part of an array using different comparators.

  Parameters:
    `a` - the array to be sorted, the indicated part of the array will be replaced by the sorted elements
    `fromIndex` - index of the first element to be sorted (inclusive)
    `toIndex` - index of the last element to be sorted (exclusive)
    `c` - array holding the different comparators
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `fromIndex > toIndex`

### getRevision

    public java.lang.String getRevision()

  Returns the revision string.

  Specified by:
    `getRevision` in interface `RevisionHandler`
  Returns:
    the revision
