Class Prediction<T extends Output<T>>

java.lang.Object

org.tribuo.Prediction<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Prediction<T extends Output<T>>
extends Object
implements Serializable

A prediction made by a Model. Contains the output, and optionally and a map of scores over the possible outputs. If hasProbabilities() == true then it has a probability distribution over outputs otherwise it is unnormalized scores over outputs.

If possible it also contains the number of features that were used to make a prediction, and how many features originally existed in the Example.
