All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class Laplace
extends Heuristic

A heuristic that calculates the heuristic value of predictions according to the Laplace metric based on a ConfusionMatrix. Laplace calculates as the fraction of correct positive predictions (TP) + 1 among all positive predictions (TP + FP) + 2.

Since:

0.1.0

Method Detail

evaluate

public double evaluate(@NotNull
                       @NotNull ConfusionMatrix confusionMatrix)

Description copied from class: Heuristic

Calculates a heuristic values based on a ConfusionMatrix.

Specified by:

evaluate in class Heuristic

Parameters:

confusionMatrix - The confusion matrix to be evaluated

Returns:

The heuristic value that has been calculated

isGainMetric

public boolean isGainMetric()

Description copied from class: Heuristic

Returns, whether the heuristic is a gain metric, i.e. that greater heuristic values are considered to be better than lower heuristic values, or not.

Specified by:

isGainMetric in class Heuristic

Returns:

True, if the heuristic is a gain metric, false otherwise

maxValue

public double maxValue()

Description copied from class: Heuristic

Returns the maximum heuristic value that may be calculated by the heuristic.

Specified by:

maxValue in class Heuristic

Returns:

The maximum heuristic value that may be calculated by the heuristic

minValue

public double minValue()

Description copied from class: Heuristic

Returns the minimum heuristic value that may be calculated by the heuristic.

Specified by:

minValue in class Heuristic

Returns:

The minimum heuristic value that may be calculated by the heuristic

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
