Interface IMeasurement

All Known Implementing Classes:

Measurement

public interface IMeasurement

Basic user-level interface class for holding a single "measurement" with positive and negative errors (to allow for asymmetric errors). "IMeasurement" = "value" + "errorPlus" - "errorMinus"

Method Summary

double	errorMinus() Get the minus error of the IMeasurement.
double	errorPlus() Get the plus error of the IMeasurement.
void	setErrorMinus(double errorMinus) Set the minus error of the IMeasurement.
void	setErrorPlus(double errorPlus) Set the plus error of the IMeasurement.
void	setValue(double value) Set the value of the IMeasurement.
double	value() Get the value of the IMeasurement.
