Method Detail

train

public void train(de.jungblut.math.DoubleVector[] features,
                  de.jungblut.math.DoubleVector[] outcome)

Description copied from interface: Classifier

Trains this classifier with the given features and the outcome.

Specified by:

train in interface Classifier

Overrides:

train in class AbstractClassifier

outcome - the outcome must have classes labeled as doubles. E.G. in the binary case you have a single element and decide between 0d and 1d. In higher dimensional cases you have each of these single elements mapped to a dimension.

predict

public de.jungblut.math.DoubleVector predict(de.jungblut.math.DoubleVector features)

Description copied from interface: Predictor

Classifies the given features.

Returns:

the vector that contains an indicator at the index of the class. Usually zero or 1, in some cases it is a probability or activation value.

getClassifier

public Classifier[] getClassifier()

verbose

public Voter<A> verbose()

Returns:

sets this instance to verbose and returns it.

verbose

public Voter<A> verbose(boolean verb)

Returns:

sets this instance to verbose and returns it.

selectionType

public Voter<A> selectionType(Voter.SelectionType type)

Returns:

sets the selection type and returns this instance.

numThreads

public Voter<A> numThreads(int threads)

Returns:

sets the number of threads and returns this instance.

setCombiningType

public Voter<A> setCombiningType(Voter.CombiningType type)

Returns:

sets the used combination type in this instance and returns it.

create

public static <K extends Classifier> Voter<K> create(int numClassifiers,
                                                     Voter.CombiningType type,
                                                     ClassifierFactory<K> classifierFactory)

Creates a new voting classificator. The training is single threaded, no shuffling or bagging takes place.

Parameters:

numClassifiers - the number of base classifiers to use.

type - the combining type to use.

classifierFactory - the classifier factory to create base classifiers.

Returns:

a new Voter.

fromTrainedModels

public static <K extends Classifier> Voter<K> fromTrainedModels(java.util.List<K> classifier)

Creates a voter from the given trained models for prediction purposes.

Parameters:

classifier -

Returns:
