## Functions

char * | get_centroid_struct_pl (int length, double *dist, plist *pl)
| Get the centroid structure of the ensemble.
char * | get_centroid_struct_pr (int length, double *dist, double *pr)
| Get the centroid structure of the ensemble.

## Detailed Description

## Function Documentation

char* get_centroid_struct_pl | ( | int | length,
|  | double * | dist,
|  | plist * | pl
| ) |  |

Get the centroid structure of the ensemble.

This function is a threadsafe replacement for centroid() with a 'plist' input

The centroid is the structure with the minimal average distance to all other structures
Thus, the centroid is simply the structure containing all pairs with The distance of the centroid to the ensemble is written to the memory adressed by dist.

    \param[in]  length  The length of the sequence
    \param[out] dist    A pointer to the distance variable where the centroid distance will be written to
    \param[in]  pl      A pair list containing base pair probability information about the ensemble
    \return             The centroid structure of the ensemble in dot-bracket notation

char* get_centroid_struct_pr | ( | int | length,
|  | double * | dist,
|  | double * | pr
| ) |  |

Get the centroid structure of the ensemble.

This function is a threadsafe replacement for centroid() with a probability array input

The centroid is the structure with the minimal average distance to all other structures
Thus, the centroid is simply the structure containing all pairs with The distance of the centroid to the ensemble is written to the memory adressed by dist.

    \param[in]    length  The length of the sequence
    \param[out]   dist    A pointer to the distance variable where the centroid distance will be written to
    \param[in]    pr      A upper triangular matrix containing base pair probabilities (access via iindx \ref get_iindx() )
    \return               The centroid structure of the ensemble in dot-bracket notation
