NumModelDataBC - Data model implementation class.

Comments:
This is the implementation class of the data model for the PatternRec toolbox. The NumModelDataC handle class should be used.

It provides a model implementation for data fitting. It is a nonlinear discontinuous model which records a list of training data (X,Y) pairs. When a prediction is required, the list is searched for an exact match of of input parameters in the database and the corresponding Y value is returned otherwise if no match is found, a vector with all 0's is returned.

Variables:

Methods:

NumModelDataBC(): Default constructor
NumModelDataBC(istream & in): Constructor from stream
NumModelDataBC(const NumModelDataBC & m): Copy constructor
BodyRefCounterVC & Copy() const: Makes a deep copy and is virtual
VectorC Evaluate(const VectorC & X) const: Evaluates Y=f(X)
void Initialise(const NumVVDataSetC & train): Initialises model to untrained state
This involves emptying the list of training samples that are stored internally.
void Fit(const NumVVDataSetC & train): Performs necessary model fitting to supplied training samples
MatrixC Jacobian(const VectorC & X) const: Calculate Jacobian matrix at X, always 0s
const StringC GetInfo() const: Prints information about the model
BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const: Saves the model to a stream

#include "amma/Num/NumModelB.hh"

void Initialise(const NumVVDataSetC & train): Initialises model to an untrained state
Must be overloaded in derived class that train incrementally and provides a mechanism for restarting training from scratch.
void Fit(const NumVVDataSetC & train): Allows function parameters to be selected to fit function to data
const StringC GetInfo() const: Prints derived class information
BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const: Writes object to stream, can be loaded using constructor

#include "amma/Num/NumFuncB.hh"

BodyRefCounterVC & Copy() const: Makes a deep copy and is virtual
As the copy constructor but is virtual so can be called from a base class reference.
void SetSizeX(UIntT X): Sets size of input vector
void SetSizeY(UIntT Y): Sets size of output vector
VectorC Apply(const VectorC & X): Evaluate Y=f(X) as a process
VectorC Evaluate(const VectorC & X) const: Evaluate Y=f(X)
This is the main function that does all the work and must be overloaded in derived classes.
DListC<VectorC> Evaluate(const DListC<VectorC> & listX) const: Evaluate Y=f(X) for a list of X
This is achieved by iterating through the list of X and using the Evaluate member function that takes a single X. For sophisticated applications where speed is important, this function can be overloaded to do batch processing.
VectorC operator()(const VectorC & X) const: Evaluate Y=f(X)
MatrixC Jacobian(const VectorC & X) const: Calculate Jacobian matrix at X
Performs numerical estimation of the Jacobian using differences. This function has and should be overloaded for all cases where the Jacobian can be calculated analytically.
const StringC GetInfo() const: Derived class information
const StringC & GetName() const: Derived class type
UIntT SizeX() const: Size of input vectors
UIntT SizeY() const: Size of output vectors
BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const: Writes object to stream, can be loaded using constructor

#include "amma/DP/Process.hh"

VectorC Apply(const VectorC &): Apply operation.
IntT ApplyArray(const SArray1dC<VectorC> & in,SArray1dC<VectorC> & out): Apply operation to an array of elements.
returns the number of elements processed.
BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const: Save to ostream.
const type_info & InputType() const: Get input type.
const type_info & OutputType() const: Get input type.
BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const: Save to ostream.
const type_info & InputType() const: Get input type.
const type_info & OutputType() const: Get input type.
ProcTypeT OpType() const: Operation type lossy/lossless.
BooleanT IsStateless() const: Is operation stateless ?

#include "amma/DP/Entity.hh"

BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const: Save to ostream.
BodyRefCounterVC & Copy() const: Creat a copy of this object.

#include "amma/BRefCntV.hh"

BodyRefCounterVC & Copy() const: Creat a copy of this object.
BooleanT operator==(const BodyRefCounterVC & oth) const: Compair identitys.
BooleanT operator!=(const BodyRefCounterVC & oth) const: Compair identitys.
BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const: Save to ostream.

#include "amma/BRefCnt.hh"

void AddReference(): Another reference to the object has been created.
void RemoveReference(): One reference to the object was deleted.
Locking scheme -------------- The object is possible to lock (to make constant). The scheme assumes that the object is created, it can be locked, after that it can only be destroyed. The locked object cannot be unlocked. This locking scheme is very useful during debugging, using assert() function, when it is necassary to check that object is treated as constant and the constancy is not violated by any casting or passing through the copy constructor of shared objects.
void SetConst(void) const: This locks the object.
Often objects you wish to lock are already const.
void SetConst(void): This locks the object.
BooleanT IsConst(void) const: Returns TRUE if the object is locked, ie. it is assumed to be constant.
BooleanT IsNotConst(void) const: Returns TRUE if the object is unlocked.
ie. there is no special information if the object is constant or not. Counter state information -------------------------
BooleanT ToBeDeleted() const: Returns TRUE if there is only one reference to the object and the whole object or its reference counting part can be deleted.
BooleanT ToBeDeletedRemoveIgnoreNoRemove(): Decrement refrence by 1 return true if this leaves no refrences to the object.
BooleanT ToBeDeletedRemove(): Decrement refrence by 1 return true if this leaves no refrences to the object. This also checks the NoRemove flag.
BooleanT BodyMightBeDeleted() const: Returns TRUE if the reference counted part of the object can be deleted, ie. flag NOREMOVE is false .
BooleanT IsCountZero() const: Are there any refrences left ?
BooleanT BRCPtrCanDeleteObject() const: Used by BRRCPtrC to establish if an object has ZERO refrences and can be deleted.
IntT Count() const: Returns the current state of the counter, ie. how many references to this object exist.
const BodyRefCounterC & operator=(const BodyRefCounterC & b): It has not meaning to assign object 'b' to this object because it would destroy a history of the object which is counted. So this is a dummy function.
BooleanT IsValidObject() const: Test if object is valid.
When amma check is disabled this always returns true.
BooleanT UserBitTest(IntT x) const: Test user flag.
void UserBitSet(IntT x,BooleanT setit = TRUE): Test user flag.
void UserBitZero(IntT x): Set bit to zero.
void ReportBRCError(char * Msg): Report error, used in BRCPtrC.
UIntT Hash() const: Hash on address of object.
void SetUndeletable(): Make object undeletable.
Usefull to prevent recursive deleting in graph structures. Only hackers need this function.
void ReportInvalidObject(char * Msg = 0) const: Tell user about validation failure.

#include "amma/RefCBase.hh"

LabelT Label() const: Returns the label of this reference counter.
The member function is useful mainly to recognize objects during debugging. The value of the label is uniquely defined pointer.
