Concrete Value Members

  1. def calcCorrelation: MatriD

    Calculate the correlation matrix for the feature vectors 'fea'.

    Calculate the correlation matrix for the feature vectors 'fea'. If the correlations are too high, the independence assumption may be dubious.

  2. def calcCorrelation2(zrg: Range, xrg: Range): MatriD

    Calculate the correlation matrix for the feature vectors of Z (Level 3) and those of X (level 2).

    Calculate the correlation matrix for the feature vectors of Z (Level 3) and those of X (level 2). If the correlations are too high, the independence assumption may be dubious.

    zrg

    the range of Z-columns

    xrg

    the range of X-columns

  3. def classify(z: VectoD): (Int, String, Double)

    Given a new continuous data vector 'z', determine which class it belongs to, by first rounding it to an integer-valued vector.

    Given a new continuous data vector 'z', determine which class it belongs to, by first rounding it to an integer-valued vector. Return the best class, its name and its relative probability

  4. def crossValidate(nx: Int = 10): Double

    Test the accuracy of the classified results by cross-validation, returning the accuracy.

    Test the accuracy of the classified results by cross-validation, returning the accuracy. The "test data" starts at 'testStart' and ends at 'testEnd', the rest of the data is "training data'.

    nx

    the number of crosses and cross-validations (defaults to 5x).

  5. def crossValidateRand(nx: Int = 10): Double

    Test the accuracy of the classified results by cross-validation, returning the accuracy.

    Test the accuracy of the classified results by cross-validation, returning the accuracy. This version of cross-validation relies on "subtracting" frequencies from the previously stored global data to achieve efficiency.
