=head1 NAME

Bio::Expression::FeatureI - an interface class for DNA/RNA features

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This provides a standard bioperl interface class for representing
DNA and RNA features.  It cannot be instantiated directly, but serves
as an abstract base class for implementors.

=head2 quantitation()

  Title   : value
  Usage   : $val = $ftr->quantitation()
  Function: get/set the feature's quantitation
  Returns : A numeric value
  Args    : a new numeric value (optional)

=cut

sub quantitation {
  shift->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 quantitation_units()

  Title   : quantitation_units
  Usage   : $units = $ftr->quantitation_units()
  Function: get/set the units of the feature's quantitation
  Returns : A string or undef
  Args    : a new string (optional)

=cut

sub quantitation_units {
  shift->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 standard_deviation()

  Title   : standard_deviation
  Usage   : $std_dev = $ftr->standard_deviation()
  Function: get/set the feature's standard deviation of quantitation()
  Returns : A numeric value
  Args    : a new numeric value (optional)
  Comments: no calculation is done here

=cut

sub standard_deviation {
  shift->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 sample_count()

  Title   : sample_count
  Usage   : $sample_count = $ftr->sample_count()
  Function: get/set the number of samples used to calculate
            quantitation()
  Returns : An integer
  Args    : a new integer (optional)

=cut

sub sample_count {
  shift->throw_not_implemented();
}
