> The generic parameter of ClusterRanking can move onto method
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MATH-1522
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1522
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Chen Tao
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The generic parameter on class "ClusterRanking" is unnecessary,
> it is redundancy when define a variable, and hard to reuse(it could be):
> {code:java}
> ClusterRanking<DoublePoint> evaluator = new SumOfClusterVariances<>();
> List<Cluster<DoublePoint>> clusters1 = ...
> evaluator.compute(clusters1); // It is OK.
> ...
> // It could be reused globally, but now trigger a compile error
> List<Cluster<MyClusterable>> clusters2 = ...
> evaluator.compute(clusters2); // Compile error
> {code}
> The generic parameter of ClusterRanking can be move onto method:
> {code:java}
> @FunctionalInterface
> public interface ClusterRanking {
> /**
> * Computes the rank (higher is better).
> *
> * @param clusters Clusters to be evaluated.
> * @return the rank of the provided {@code clusters}.
> */
> <T extends Clusterable> double compute(List<? extends Cluster<T>>
> clusters);
> }
> {code}
> Then we can define a ClusterRanking easier and reuse it globally:
> {code:java}
> // The variable define is simple now.
> ClusterRanking evaluator = new SumOfClusterVariances();
> ...
> List<Cluster<DoublePoint>> clusters1 = ...
> double score1 = evaluator.compute(clusters1); // OK.
> ...
> // It can be reused globally now.
> List<Cluster<MyClusterable>> clusters2 = ...
> double score2 = evaluator.compute(clusters2); // OK.
> {code}
