Class TrainingSetScore

java.lang.Object
  org.encog.neural.networks.training.TrainingSetScore

All Implemented Interfaces:

CalculateScore

public class TrainingSetScore
extends Object
implements CalculateScore

Calculate a score based on a training set. This class allows simulated annealing or genetic algorithms just as you would any other training set based training method. The method must support regression (MLRegression).

Constructor Summary

TrainingSetScore(MLDataSet training)
Construct a training set score calculation.

Method Summary

double	calculateScore(MLMethod method) Calculate the score for the network.
boolean	requireSingleThreaded()
boolean	shouldMinimize() A training set based score should always seek to lower the error, as a result, this method always returns true.
