SMNumericThreshold (ProCAKE Framework 4.0.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

SimilarityMeasure, SMNumeric

All Known Implementing Classes:

SMNumericThresholdImpl
```
public interface SMNumericThreshold
extends SMNumeric
```
Threshold functions should be used if there is the possibility that the contribution of an attribute to the utility is binary in the sense that up to a certain difference the case is useful and beyond it is not useful.
