Class BPolDescriptor

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.openscience.cdk.qsar.descriptors.molecular.BPolDescriptor
All Implemented Interfaces:
IDescriptor, IMolecularDescriptor

public class BPolDescriptor
extends java.lang.Object
implements IMolecularDescriptor

Sum of the absolute value of the difference between atomic polarizabilities of all bonded atoms in the molecule (including implicit hydrogens) with polarizabilities taken from http://www.sunysccc.edu/academic/mst/ptable/p-table2.htm . This class need explicit hydrogens.

This descriptor uses these parameters:

Name Default Description
no parameters
Returns a single value with name bpol.

Constructor Detail

BPolDescriptor

public BPolDescriptor()
Constructor for the APolDescriptor object

Method Detail

getSpecification

public DescriptorSpecification getSpecification()
Description copied from interface: IDescriptor
Returns a Map which specifies which descriptor is implemented by this class. These fields are used in the map:

Specified by:
getSpecification in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
An object containing the descriptor specification

setParameters

public void setParameters(java.lang.Object[] params)
                   throws CDKException
Sets the parameters attribute of the BPolDescriptor object

Specified by:
setParameters in interface IDescriptor
Parameters:
params - The new parameters value
Throws:
CDKException - Description of the Exception
See Also:
IDescriptor.getParameters()

getParameters

public java.lang.Object[] getParameters()
Gets the parameters attribute of the BPolDescriptor object

Specified by:
getParameters in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
The parameters value
See Also:
IDescriptor.setParameters(java.lang.Object[])

getDescriptorNames

@TestMethod(value="testNamesConsistency")
public java.lang.String[] getDescriptorNames()
Description copied from interface: IDescriptor
Returns an array of names for each descriptor value calculated.

Many descriptors return multiple values. In general it is useful for the descriptor to indicate the names for each value.

In many cases, these names can be as simple as X1, X2, ..., XN where X is a prefix and 1, 2, ..., N are the indices. On the other hand it is also possible to return other arbitrary names, which should be documented in the Javadocs for the decsriptor (e.g., the CPSA descriptor).

Note that by default if a descriptor returns a single value (such as ALOGPDescriptor the return array will have a single element

Specified by:
getDescriptorNames in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
An array of descriptor names, equal in length to the number of descriptor calculated..

calculate

public DescriptorValue calculate(IAtomContainer container)
This method calculate the sum of the absolute value of the difference between atomic polarizabilities of all bonded atoms in the molecule

Specified by:
calculate in interface IMolecularDescriptor
Parameters:
container - Parameter is the atom container.
Returns:
The sum of atomic polarizabilities

getDescriptorResultType

public IDescriptorResult getDescriptorResultType()
Returns the specific type of the DescriptorResult object.

The return value from this method really indicates what type of result will be obtained from the DescriptorValue object. Note that the same result can be achieved by interrogating the DescriptorValue object; this method allows you to do the same thing, without actually calculating the descriptor.

Specified by:
getDescriptorResultType in interface IMolecularDescriptor
Returns:
an object that implements the IDescriptorResult interface indicating the actual type of values returned by the descriptor in the DescriptorValue object

getParameterNames

public java.lang.String[] getParameterNames()
Gets the parameterNames attribute of the BPolDescriptor object

Specified by:
getParameterNames in interface IDescriptor
Returns:
The parameterNames value

getParameterType

public java.lang.Object getParameterType(java.lang.String name)
Gets the parameterType attribute of the BPolDescriptor object

Specified by:
getParameterType in interface IDescriptor
Parameters:
name - Description of the Parameter
Returns:
The parameterType value
