Method Detail

compare

public boolean compare(Configuration input,
                       Configuration model,
                       AtomMap map)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurationComparator

Compares input with model using map to correlate Atoms between the two. Returns true if commonality was detected, or false otherwise.

Specified by:

compare in interface ConfigurationComparator

Parameters:

input - the Configuration whose features will be compared with those of model using map

model - the reference Configuration

map - the mapping of the atoms of input onto map

Returns:

true if the comparison was positive or false otherwise
