Method Detail

entropy

public double entropy(double[] frequencies,
                      int distinctValues,
                      int numberOfValues)

Description copied from class: Entropy

Compute the entropy of a vector of values (non missing values (NaN))

Specified by:

entropy in class Entropy

Parameters:

frequencies - The occurrences array (of values)

distinctValues - The number of distinct values

numberOfValues - The number of values

Returns:

The pseudo count

hasNativeImplementation

public boolean hasNativeImplementation()

Description copied from interface: Measure

Know if the measure owns a native implementation

Specified by:

hasNativeImplementation in interface Measure

Overrides:

hasNativeImplementation in class Entropy

Returns:

True if the measure is also natively implemented

requireDataTransformation

public boolean requireDataTransformation()

Description copied from interface: Measure

Know if the measure need to transform input data (input data are copied to be preserved)

Specified by:

requireDataTransformation in interface Measure

Overrides:

requireDataTransformation in class Entropy

Returns:

True if the input data require some transformation

transform

public void transform(double[][] data)

Description copied from interface: Measure

The transformation method called before measurement

Specified by:

transform in interface Measure

Overrides:

transform in class Entropy

Parameters:

data - An input data vector to be measured
