SMNumericLinear (ProCAKE Framework 4.0.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

SimilarityMeasure, SMNumeric

All Known Implementing Classes:

SMNumericLinearImpl
```
public interface SMNumericLinear
extends SMNumeric
```
In most cases the similarity between two numeric values can be described by a linear function. The idea is that the similarity decreases linearly in an interval $[min,max]$ with the increase of difference between the two values. Below $min$ the similarity is maximal, and above $max$, the similarity is minimal.
