Constructor & Destructor Documentation

function fselrepeater::fselrepeater ( )

Member Function Documentation

function block::boot ( in o )

inherited

Configures the structure to deal with new type of data.

Booting accounts for clearing any recordings; model structure; stored data etc from the object so that it can be re-used anew.

function block::do_boot ( in o )

protectedinherited

Boots the block.

Abstract. Booting accounts for clearing any recordings; model structure; stored data etc from the object so that it can be re-used anew.

function irobj::do_get_html ( in o )

protectedinherited

Abstract. HTML inner body.

function irobj::do_get_report ( in o )

protectedinherited

Default report.

function block::do_train	(	in	o,
		in	data
	)

protectedinherited

function fselrepeater::do_use	(	in	o,
		in	data
	)

protected

Creates a log_fselrepeater object

This function may pass 1 or 2 datasets to the as_fsel, depending on the sgs property. It does not check whether the as_fselrep::as_fsel needs one or two datasets.

function irobj::extract_log ( in o )

inherited

Parameters

o

Returns: [o, log]

function irobj::get_ancestry	(	in	o,
		in	flag_title
	)

inherited

Parameters

o
flag_title=1

function irobj::get_description	(	in	o,
		in	flag_short
	)

inherited

Returns description string

Precedence according with flag_short:

0: title > short > classtitle
1: short > title > classtitle

Parameters

flag_short=0 I am sealing this to make sure that no class will try to improvise on this function.

function block::get_grades	(	in	o,
		in	params
	)

inherited

Abstract. Method to get the per-feature grades. BMTool stuff.

function block::get_gradeslegend	(	in	o,
		in	params
	)

inherited

Abstract. Method to get block title based on passed parameters. BMTool stuff.

function irobj::get_html	(	in	o,
		in	flag_stylesheet
	)

inherited

Parameters

flag_stylesheet=1 Whether to include the stylesheet in the HTML

function irobj::get_methodname	(	in	o,
		in	flag_short
	)

inherited

This is used only to compose sequence string e.g. xxx->yyy->zzz

Parameters

flag_short=0

function irobj::get_params	(	in	o,
		in	data
	)

inherited

Calls Parameters GUI.

If flag_params, tries uip_<class>.m. If fails, tries uip_<ancestor>.m and so on

function irobj::get_report ( in o )

inherited

Object reports are plain text. HTML would be cool but c'mon, we don't need that sophistication.

function irobj::setbatch	(	in	o,
		in	params
	)

inherited

Sets several properties of an object at once.

Parameters

o
params	Cell followint the pattern {'property1', value1, 'property2', value2, ...}

function block::train	(	in	o,
		in	data,
		in	varargin
	)

inherited

Trains block.

function block::use	(	in	o,
		in	data
	)

inherited

Applies block to data.

Member Data Documentation

Property fselrepeater::as_fsel

Feature selection object.

Definition at line 13 of file fselrepeater.m.

Property irobj::classtitle

protectedinherited

Class Title. Should have a descriptive name, as short as possible.

Definition at line 50 of file irobj.m.

Property irobj::color

inherited

=[0, .8, 0]. multipurpose feature, routines may use it for different things. Major use is to change the background of objtool and blockmenu. See also classes_html.m

Definition at line 42 of file irobj.m.

Property fselrepeater::fext

Feature extractor to be used before passing the dataset to the feature selector. This may be used, e.g., if you want to produce a histogram of the best, e.g., Principal Component Analysis factors. Instead of passing an already PCA-transformed dataset to the as_fselrep, you can pass the PCA block in the fext property, so that at each iteration, the PCA block will be trained with the training set of that iteration only, not the whole dataset.

Definition at line 19 of file fselrepeater.m.

Property block::flag_bootable

protectedinherited

=0. (High-Level setting and internal function) Whether or not the block is bootable.

Definition at line 14 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_booted

protectedinherited

=0. Set to 1 by boot() after booting the block

Definition at line 69 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_fixednf

protectedinherited

=1. (internal function) If true, dataset number of features will be checked upon training and using. Ignored if o.flag_trainable is 0.

Definition at line 28 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_fixedno

protectedinherited

=0. (internal function) If true, dataset number of observations will be checked upon training and using. Ignored if o.flag_trainable is 0.

Definition at line 31 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_incrtrain

protectedinherited

=0. (internal function). Whether or not the block accepts incremental training. The meaning is:

If YES, it means that the block can adapt/evolve everytime its train() method is called
If NO, the block can be trained only once, and calling its train() method many times can lead to unpredictable results

Definition at line 23 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_multiin

protectedinherited

=0. (High-Level setting (gencode)) Whether block allows/expects multiple objects as input.

Definition at line 35 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_out

protectedinherited

=1. (High-Level setting (gencode)) Whether the block generates any output at all (counterexample: vis blocks)

Definition at line 38 of file block.m.

Property fselrepeater::flag_parallel

=0. Whether to parallelize the Feature Selection repetitions

Definition at line 22 of file fselrepeater.m.

Property irobj::flag_params

protectedinherited

=1. (GUI setting) Whether to call a GUI when the block is selected in blockmenu.m . If true, a routine called "uip_"<class name> will be called.

Definition at line 57 of file irobj.m.

Property block::flag_train_inliers_only

protectedinherited

If true, train() will pass on to do_train() a dataset with inliers only. If this flag is true, flag_train_require_inliers will be ignored, because flag_train_inliers_only being true is one way to solve the "inliers requirement".

Definition at line 46 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_train_require_inliers

protectedinherited

=1. If true, train() will give an error if the dataset has outliers. This is true by default, because the developer should be aware of outliers being inputted into a training algorithm.

Definition at line 51 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_trainable

protectedinherited

=0. (High-Level + internal function). Whether or not the block can be trained, or completely non-data-based.

Definition at line 17 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_trained

protectedinherited

=0. Set to 1 by train() if training is successful; set back to 0 after booting.

Definition at line 66 of file block.m.

Property irobj::flag_ui

protectedinherited

(GUI setting) Whether to "publish" in blockmenu and datatool. Note that a class can be "published" without a GUI (set flag_params=0 in this case, at the class constructor).

Definition at line 60 of file irobj.m.

Property block::inputclass

protectedinherited

='irdata'. (High-Level setting) Class or classes (can be string or cell of strings) that the block can deal with. Allows for objtool and datatool to know (when appropriate) which blocks are applicable to the selected object(s).

Definition at line 11 of file block.m.

Property irobj::moreactions

protectedinherited

(GUI setting) String cell containing names of methods that may be called from the GUIs

Definition at line 63 of file irobj.m.

Definition at line 60 of file block.m.

Property block::no

protectedinherited

=-1. Number of observations.

Property fselrepeater::sgs

Subset Generation Specs to guide generation of different datasets to be passed to the Feature selection object.

Property irobj::short

protectedinherited

Short for the method name.

Definition at line 53 of file irobj.m.
