  • PredictionNode

    public PredictionNode(double newValue)

    Creates a new prediction node.

    Parameters:

    newValue - the value that the node should store

• Method Detail

  • setValue

    public final void setValue(double newValue)

    Sets the prediction value of the node.

    Parameters:

    newValue - the value that the node should store

  • getValue

    public final double getValue()

    Gets the prediction value of the node.

    Returns:

    the value stored in the node

  • getChildren

    public final FastVector getChildren()

    Gets the children of this node.

    Returns:

    a FastVector containing child Splitter object references

  • children

    public final java.util.Enumeration children()

    Enumerates the children of this node.

    Returns:

    an enumeration of child Splitter object references

  • addChild

    public final void addChild(Splitter newChild,
     ADTree addingTo)

    Adds a child to this node. If possible will merge, and will perform a deep copy of the child tree.

    Parameters:

    newChild - the new child to add (will be cloned)

    addingTo - the tree that this node belongs to

  • clone

    public final java.lang.Object clone()

    Clones this node. Performs a deep copy, recursing through the tree.

    Overrides:

    clone in class java.lang.Object

    Returns:

    a clone

  • merge

    public final void merge(PredictionNode merger,
     ADTree mergingTo)

    Merges this node with another.

    Parameters:

    merger - the node that is merging with this node - will not be affected, will instead be cloned

    mergingTo - the tree that this node belongs to

  • getRevision

    public java.lang.String getRevision()

    Returns the revision string.

    Specified by:

    getRevision in interface RevisionHandler

    Returns:

    the revision
