virtual int prapi::RankCombiner::combineRanks (  const util::List< util::List< int > > &    rankings )  const [pure virtual]

Combine rankings by different classifiers. Rankings by different classifiers are provided as a list in which each slot stores the rankings given by one of the classifiers (in the order the classifiers are given to a MultiClassifier). Rankings are represented as a list with as many slots as the number of classes. Slot 0 represents the rank of the first class, slot 1 the rank of the second class etc. The maximum rank is classCount-1. Implemented in prapi::RankCombiner::BordaCount.
