Interface IntensityCalculator

All Known Implementing Classes:

IntensityCalculatorUtil.JepIntensityCalculatorImpl

public interface IntensityCalculator

This interface is used together with the IntensityCalculatorUtil class to help a plugin calculate intensities from raw data spots. A plugin must supply an implementation of this interface to be able to use the IntensityCalculatorUtil.createRootBioAssaySet(DbControl, Experiment, Collection, Job, IntensityCalculator, ProgressReporter).

One simple but powerful implementation is available from the IntensityCalculatorUtil.createJepIntensityCalculator(DbControl, RawDataType, String[]) It creates an intensity calculator that parses a string with a mathematical expression.
