java.lang.Object

org.encog.ml.data.versatile.normalizers.IndexedNormalizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Normalizer

public class IndexedNormalizer
extends java.lang.Object
implements Normalizer

Normalize ordinal/nominal values to a single value that is simply the index of the class in the list. For example, "one", "two", "three" normalizes to 0,1,2.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

outputSize

public int outputSize(ColumnDefinition colDef)

Determine the normalized size of the specified column.

Specified by:

outputSize in interface Normalizer

Parameters:

colDef - The column to check.

Returns:

The size of the column normalized.

normalizeColumn

public int normalizeColumn(ColumnDefinition colDef,
                           java.lang.String value,
                           double[] outputData,
                           int outputColumn)

Normalize a column from a string. The output will go to an array, starting at outputColumn.

Specified by:

normalizeColumn in interface Normalizer

Parameters:

colDef - The column that is being normalized.

value - The value to normalize.

outputData - The array to output to.

outputColumn - The index to start at in outputData.

Returns:

The new index (in outputData) that we've moved to.

denormalizeColumn

public java.lang.String denormalizeColumn(ColumnDefinition colDef,
                                          MLData data,
                                          int dataColumn)

Denormalize a value.

Specified by:

denormalizeColumn in interface Normalizer

Parameters:

colDef - The column to denormalize.

data - The data to denormalize.

dataColumn - The starting location inside data.

Returns:

The denormalized value.

normalizeColumn

public int normalizeColumn(ColumnDefinition colDef,
                           double value,
                           double[] outputData,
                           int outputColumn)

Normalize a column from a double. The output will go to an array, starting at outputColumn.

Specified by:

normalizeColumn in interface Normalizer

Parameters:

colDef - The column that is being normalized.

value - The value to normalize.

outputData - The array to output to.

outputColumn - The index to start at in outputData.

Returns:

The new index (in outputData) that we've moved to.
