Detailed Description

template<class T>
class prapi::ProximityAdder< T >

Adder is a wrap-up measure that just adds a constant value to the value provided by another measure.

It may be used in scaling the measured values.

Example:

 //Memory autorelease mode - no need to store a pointer to the
 //new EuclideanDiscance object
 ProximityAdder<double> adder(new EuclideanDistance<double>, -1.0);

 //No memory autorelease
 EuclideanDistance<double> dist;
 ProximityAdder<double> adder(dist, -1.0);

 //Absolutely wrong! The local variable would be automatically
 //deleted. Your program will most likely dump core.
 EuclideanDistance<double> dist;
 ProximityAdder<double> adder(&dist, -1.0); //One extra '&'.
 

This measure comes in handy when you have multiple feature vectors in each sample and need to scale the proximities.

Deprecated:

Use ProximityModifier instead

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T> prapi::ProximityAdder< T >::ProximityAdder (  ProximityMeasure< T > *    measure, double    value )  [inline]

Create a new Adder that uses the given proximity measure. Note that if you use this constructor, the memory pointed by measure is automatically released upon the deletion of the Adder. Parameters: measure  a pointer to the actual measure to be used value  the value to be added to measured proximities

template<class T> prapi::ProximityAdder< T >::ProximityAdder (  ProximityMeasure< T > &    measure, double    value )  [inline]

Create a new Adder that uses the given proximity measure. Parameters: measure  a reference to the actual measure to be used value  the value to be added to measured proximities

Member Function Documentation

template<class T> double prapi::ProximityAdder< T >::getProximity (  const util::List< T > &    sample, const util::List< T > &    model, double    stopAfter )  const throw (ProximityException&) [inline, virtual]

Proximity between two lists. Parameters: sample  the list to be classified model  the model stopAfter  A value that can be used in optimizing the performance of a proximity measure. Classifiers may set this value to inform the proximity measure to stop if it notices the proximity will be over a certain value. For example, the kNN classifier sets this value to the kth smallest proximity so far. If a sample is not closer than that, then it makes no sense to inspect it any more. Implements prapi::ProximityMeasure< T >.
