Enum MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling>

jsat.datatransform.featureselection.MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling>

Enclosing class:

MutualInfoFS

public static enum MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling
extends Enum<MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling>

The definition for mutual information for continuous attributes requires an integration of an unknown function, as such requires some form of approximation. This controls how the approximation is done

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
BINARY Numeric attributes are treated as nominal features with binary values.
NONE Mutual information for numeric attributes is not computed, so no numeric attributes will be removed - and are ignored completely.

Enum Constant Detail

NONE

public static final MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling NONE

Mutual information for numeric attributes is not computed, so no numeric attributes will be removed - and are ignored completely. The number of features to select does not include the numeric attributes in this case.

BINARY

public static final MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling BINARY

Numeric attributes are treated as nominal features with binary values. The false value is if the value is zero, and the true value is any non zero value.

Method Detail

values

public static MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling c : MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static MutualInfoFS.NumericalHandeling valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
