  • Method Details

    • impurityNormed

      double impurityNormed(double[] input)
      Calculates the impurity, assuming it's input is a normalized probability distribution.
      Parameters:
      input - The input probability distribution.
      Returns:
      The impurity.

    • impurityWeighted

      default double impurityWeighted(double[] input)
      Calculates the impurity assuming the inputs are weighted counts normalizing by their sum.
      Parameters:
      input - The input counts.
      Returns:
      The impurity.

    • impurity

      default double impurity(double[] input)
      Calculates the impurity assuming the inputs are counts.
      Parameters:
      input - The input counts.
      Returns:
      The impurity.

    • impurityWeighted

      default double impurityWeighted(float[] input)
      Calculates the impurity by assuming the input are weighted counts and converting them into a probability distribution by dividing by their sum. The resulting impurity is then rescaled by multiplying by the sum.
      Parameters:
      input - The input counts.
      Returns:
      The impurity.

    • impurity

      default double impurity(float[] input)
      Calculates the impurity assuming the input are fractional counts.
      Parameters:
      input - The input counts.
      Returns:
      The impurity.

    • impurity

      default double impurity(int[] input)
      Calculates the impurity assuming the input are counts.
      Parameters:
      input - The input counts.
      Returns:
      The impurity.

    • impurity

      default double impurity(Map<String,Double> counts)
      Takes a Map for weighted counts. Normalizes into a probability distribution before calling impurityNormed(double[]).
      Parameters:
      counts - A map from instances to weighted counts.
      Returns:
      The impurity score.
