ListExample (Tribuo 4.0.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.tribuo.Example<T>
- - org.tribuo.impl.ListExample<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the features in this example.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable<Feature>
```
public class ListExample<T extends Output<T>>
extends Example<T>
implements Serializable
```
This class will not be performant until value types are available in Java. Prefer ArrayExample.
An example that's a simple list of features. It is not guaranteed that feature instances are preserved.

- Method Detail
  - add
```
public void add(Feature feature)
```
    Description copied from class: Example
    
    Adds a feature. This maintains the sorted invariant and has a lg(example.size()) cost per insertion.
    
    Specified by:
    
    add in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    feature - The feature to add.
  - addAll
```
public void addAll(Collection<? extends Feature> features)
```
    Description copied from class: Example
    
    Adds a collection of features. This maintains the sorted invariant but is more efficient than adding one at a time due to allocation.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addAll in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    features - The features to add.
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Description copied from class: Example
    
    Return how many features are in this example.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    The number of features.
  - copy
```
public ListExample<T> copy()
```
    Description copied from class: Example
    
    Returns a deep copy of this Example.
    
    Specified by:
    
    copy in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    A deep copy of this example.
  - iterator
```
public Iterator<Feature> iterator()
```
    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface Iterable<Feature>
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - sort
```
protected void sort()
```
    Sorts the feature list to maintain the lexicographic order invariant.
    
    Specified by:
    
    sort in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
  - removeFeatures
```
public void removeFeatures(List<Feature> featureList)
```
    Description copied from class: Example
    
    Removes all features in this list from the Example.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeFeatures in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    featureList - Features to remove from this Example.
  - reduceByName
```
public void reduceByName(Merger merger)
```
    Description copied from class: Example
    
    Merges features with the same name using the supplied Merger.
    
    Specified by:
    
    reduceByName in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    merger - A function to merge two doubles.

    lookup in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    i - The feature name to lookup.

    The feature object.
  - set
```
public void set(Feature feature)
```
    Description copied from class: Example
    
    Overwrites the feature with the matching name.
    Throws IllegalArgumentException if there isn't a feature with that name in this example.
    
    Specified by:
    
    set in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    feature - The new feature value.
  - validateExample
```
public boolean validateExample()

    Returns:
    
    true if the example is valid.

    Parameters:
    
    featureList - A *sorted* list of feature names.
  - canonicalize
```
public void canonicalize(FeatureMap featureMap)
```
    Description copied from class: Example
    
    Reassigns feature name Strings in the Example to point to those in the FeatureMap. This significantly reduces memory allocation. It is called when an Example is added to a MutableDataset, and should not be called outside of that context as it may interact unexpectedly with HashedFeatureMap.
    
    Specified by:
    
    canonicalize in class Example<T extends Output<T>>
    
    Parameters:
    
    featureMap - The feature map containing canonical feature names.
