Method Detail

addValue

public void addValue(double data,
                     double weight)

Add a new data value to the current estimator. Does nothing because the data is provided in the constructor.

Specified by:

addValue in interface IncrementalEstimator

Overrides:

addValue in class Estimator

Parameters:

data - the new data value

weight - the weight assigned to the data value

getProbability

public double getProbability(double data)

Get a probability estimate for a value

Specified by:

getProbability in class Estimator

Parameters:

data - the value to estimate the probability of

Returns:

the estimated probability of the supplied value

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Display a representation of this estimator

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

getCapabilities

public Capabilities getCapabilities()

Returns default capabilities of the classifier.

Specified by:

getCapabilities in interface CapabilitiesHandler

Overrides:

getCapabilities in class Estimator

Returns:

the capabilities of this classifier
