        Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)
    • Method Detail

      • lambda

        public abstract float lambda​(BasicStats stats)
        Computes the lambda parameter.
      • toString

        public abstract String toString()
        Subclasses must override this method to return the code of the lambda formula. Since the original paper is not very clear on this matter, and also uses the DFR naming scheme incorrectly, the codes here were chosen arbitrarily.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
