Detailed Description

This is the base class for generating objects that contain the contents of a chain file generated by a ParaMonte sampler.

This class is meant to be primarily internally used by the ParaMonte MATLAB library samplers.
See the documentation of the class constructor.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FileContentsChain()

function FileContentsChain::FileContentsChain	(	in	file,
		in	silent,
		in	sep
	)

Return a scalar object of class pm.sampling.FileContentsChain.

This is the constructor of the class pm.sampling.FileContentsChain.

Parameters

[in]	file	: The input scalar MATLAB string containing the path or web address to an external file.
[in]	silent	: See the corresponding argument of pm.sampling.FileContentsSample class. (optional. The default is set by pm.sampling.FileContentsSample.)
[in]	sep	: See the corresponding argument of pm.sampling.FileContentsSample class. (optional. The default is set by pm.sampling.FileContentsSample.)

Returns: self : The output scalar object of class pm.sampling.FileContentsChain.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

: contents = pm.sampling.FileContentsChain(file)

contents = pm.sampling.FileContentsChain(file, [])

contents = pm.sampling.FileContentsChain(file, silent)

contents = pm.sampling.FileContentsChain(file, [], sep)

contents = pm.sampling.FileContentsChain(file, silent, sep)

Note: See the documentations of the subclasses of this class for example usage.
