[Biojava-l] can a Distribution associated with symbols?

[wendy wong]

Hi all,

I am trying to use biojava to construct a HMM and each state emits a
column of symbols. I wonder if there is a way to get around it so that
Distribution would be associated with a number instead (going from 0
to num_of_symbol^num_of_rows).

Thanks,
Wendy
