Constructor Detail

PredictionNode

public PredictionNode(double newValue)

Creates a new prediction node.

Parameters:

newValue - the value that the node should store

Method Detail

setValue

public final void setValue(double newValue)

Sets the prediction value of the node.

Parameters:

newValue - the value that the node should store

getValue

public final double getValue()

Gets the prediction value of the node.

Returns:

the value stored in the node

getChildren

public final FastVector getChildren()

Gets the children of this node.

Returns:

a FastVector containing child Splitter object references

children

public final java.util.Enumeration children()

Enumerates the children of this node.

Returns:

an enumeration of child Splitter object references

addChild

public final void addChild(Splitter newChild,
                           ADTree addingTo)

Adds a child to this node. If possible will merge, and will perform a deep copy of the child tree.

Parameters:

newChild - the new child to add (will be cloned)

addingTo - the tree that this node belongs to

clone

public final java.lang.Object clone()

Clones this node. Performs a deep copy, recursing through the tree.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a clone

merge

public final void merge(PredictionNode merger,
                        ADTree mergingTo)

Merges this node with another.

Parameters:

merger - the node that is merging with this node - will not be affected, will instead be cloned

mergingTo - the tree that this node belongs to
