Class RangeOrdinal

java.lang.Object

org.encog.ml.data.versatile.normalizers.RangeOrdinal

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Normalizer

public class RangeOrdinal
extends java.lang.Object
implements Normalizer

Normalize an ordinal into a specific range. An ordinal is a string value that has order. For example "first grade", "second grade", ... "freshman", ..., "senior". These values are mapped to an increasing index.

                    double theNormalizedHigh)

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 theValue,
                           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.

theValue - 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.

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.

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.
