Constructor Detail

KKConditionalEstimator

public KKConditionalEstimator(double precision)

Constructor

Parameters:

precision - the precision to which numeric values are given. For example, if the precision is stated to be 0.1, the values in the interval (0.25,0.35] are all treated as 0.3.

Method Detail

addValue

public void addValue(double data,
                     double given,
                     double weight)

Add a new data value to the current estimator.

Specified by:

addValue in interface ConditionalEstimator

Parameters:

data - the new data value

given - the new value that data is conditional upon

weight - the weight assigned to the data value

getEstimator

public Estimator getEstimator(double given)

Get a probability estimator for a value

Specified by:

getEstimator in interface ConditionalEstimator

Parameters:

given - the new value that data is conditional upon

Returns:

the estimator for the supplied value given the condition

getProbability

public double getProbability(double data,
                             double given)

Get a probability estimate for a value

Specified by:

getProbability in interface ConditionalEstimator

Parameters:

data - the value to estimate the probability of

given - the new value that data is conditional upon

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

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

Main method for testing this class. Creates some random points in the range 0 - 100, and prints out a distribution conditional on some value

Parameters:

argv - should contain: seed conditional_value numpoints
