public class HuffmanBasic
extends Transformer

Given a probability distribution, generate the Huffman code book. The probability distribution is given by the pmf parameter. The corresponding alphabet is given by the alphabet parameter. The code book is in a format of an array of strings, each string consists of '0' and '1's. The code book is sent to the huffmanCodeBook output port.

Field Detail

pmf

public Parameter pmf

The probability mass function. This parameter is an array of doubles. Each element should be positive and the sum of all elements should be 1.0. The default value is {0.5, 0.5}.

alphabet

public Parameter alphabet

The alphabet of the input. This parameter is an ArrayToken. Its default value is {0, 1}.

huffmanCodeBook

public TypedIOPort huffmanCodeBook

A port that produces the Huffman code book generated based on the probability mass function. It is an array of strings.

_codeBook

protected java.lang.String[] _codeBook

The huffman code book.

_parametersInvalid

protected boolean _parametersInvalid

Flag that indicates if the parameters are invalid. If it is true, then a new code book needs to be generated.

_pmf

protected double[] _pmf

The probability mass function.

Constructor Detail

HuffmanBasic

public HuffmanBasic(CompositeEntity container,
                    java.lang.String name)
             throws NameDuplicationException,
                    IllegalActionException

Construct an actor with the given container and name. The output and trigger ports are also constructed.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the entity cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Override the base class to set type constraints.

Overrides:

clone in class TypedAtomicActor

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the new object.

Returns:

A new instance of ArrayElement.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If a derived class contains an attribute that cannot be cloned.

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

If the attribute being changed is pmf, then verify all the elements are positive and their sum is 1.0.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class NamedObj

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If any element in pmf is non-positive or the sum is not 1.0.

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Generate the Huffman codebook for the given pmf, and encode the input into booleans and send them to the output port.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - Not thrown in this base class.

generateCodeBook

public java.lang.String[] generateCodeBook(double[] pmf)

Generate the Huffman code book given the probability mass function.

Parameters:

pmf - The probability mass function.

Returns:

The code book, where each codeword is a string of '0' and '1'.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws IllegalActionException

Initialize the actor by resetting the _parametersInvalid to true. Creat a linked list to store the nodes for the binary tree.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

initialize in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the parent class throws it.
