Class AbstractMutationFunction

    • Method Detail

      • setMutationProbs

        public final void setMutationProbs​(double[] mutationProbs)
                                    throws ChangeVetoException
        Description copied from interface: MutationFunction
        Set the probability of a mutation occuring at a certain position Position 0 in the array corresponds to the probability of the first residue of seq mutating. If the length of the array defined in getMutationProbs() is shorter than the length of the sequence the default behaivour of implementations will be to apply the last probability to each subsequence residue. A single member array will mutate all bases with equal probability.
        Specified by:
        setMutationProbs in interface MutationFunction
        Parameters:
        mutationProbs - an array of double values representing mutation probabilities
        Throws:
        ChangeVetoException - if a ChangeListener vetoes the change.
      • setMutationSpectrum

        public final void setMutationSpectrum​(OrderNDistribution mutationSpectrum)
                                       throws ChangeVetoException
        Description copied from interface: MutationFunction
        Sets the Distribution of Symbols that will be selected from when a mutation occurs. An OrderNDistribution is used so that you can model a situation where the identity of the 'mutant' Symbol is dependent on the original Symbol. The primary use is to prevent Symbols mutating to themselves. Another use would be to model transitions and transversions.
        Specified by:
        setMutationSpectrum in interface MutationFunction
        Parameters:
        mutationSpectrum - the Distribution of 'mutant' bases to choose from.
        Throws:
        ChangeVetoException - if a ChangeListener vetoes the change.
