CParameterCombination Class Reference

Detailed Description

class that holds ONE combination of parameters for a learning machine. The structure is organized as a tree. Every node may hold a name or an instance of a Parameter class. Nodes may have children. The nodes are organized in such way, that every parameter of a model for model selection has one node and sub-parameters are stored in sub-nodes. Using a tree of this class, parameters of models may easily be set. There are these types of nodes:

-root node: no name and no Parameter instance, every tree has such a node as root. Has children.

-Parameter node: a node with no name and an instance of Parameter, filled with one or more values. There may be different elements in these Parameter instances. Parameter nodes may have children with sub-parameters.

Again: Leafs of the tree may only be Parameter nodes.

void map_parameters ( DynArray< TParameter * > *  param_base,
int32_t &  base_version,
DynArray< const SGParamInfo * > *  target_param_infos 
)
inherited

Takes a set of TParameter instances (base) with a certain version and a set of target parameter infos and recursively maps the base level wise to the current version using CSGObject::migrate(...). The base is replaced. After this call, the base version containing parameters should be of same version/type as the initial target parameter infos. Note for this to work, the migrate methods and all the internal parameter mappings have to match

Parameters
param_baseset of TParameter instances that are mapped to the provided target parameter infos
base_versionversion of the parameter base
target_param_infosset of SGParamInfo instances that specify the target parameter base

Parameters

Definition at line 209 of file ParameterCombination.cpp.

TParameter * migrate ( DynArray< TParameter * > *  param_base,
const SGParamInfo target 
)
protectedvirtualinherited

creates a new TParameter instance, which contains migrated data from the version that is provided. The provided parameter data base is used for migration, this base is a collection of all parameter data of the previous version. Migration is done FROM the data in param_base TO the provided param info Migration is always one version step. Method has to be implemented in subclasses, if no match is found, base method has to be called.

If there is an element in the param_base which equals the target, a copy of the element is returned. This represents the case when nothing has changed and therefore, the migrate method is not overloaded in a subclass

Parameters
param_baseset of TParameter instances to use for migration
targetparameter info for the resulting TParameter
Returns
a new TParameter instance with migrated data from the base of the type which is specified by the target parameter

Definition at line 923 of file SGObject.cpp.

CDynamicObjectArray * non_value_tree_multiplication ( const CDynamicObjectArray sets,
const CParameterCombination new_root 
)
staticprotected

Takes a set of sets of (non-value) trees and returns a set with all combinations of the elements, where only combinations of trees with different names are built.

Parameters
setsset of sets of CParameterCombination instances which represent the trees to be multiplied
new_rootthis new root is put in front of all products
Returns
set of trees with the given root as root and all combinations of the trees in the sets as children

void one_to_one_migration_prepare ( DynArray< TParameter * > *  param_base,
const SGParamInfo target,
TParameter *&  replacement,
TParameter *&  to_migrate,
char *  old_name = NULL 
)
protectedvirtualinherited

This method prepares everything for a one-to-one parameter migration. One to one here means that only ONE element of the parameter base is needed for the migration (the one with the same name as the target). Data is allocated for the target (in the type as provided in the target SGParamInfo), and a corresponding new TParameter instance is written to replacement. The to_migrate pointer points to the single needed TParameter instance needed for migration. If a name change happened, the old name may be specified by old_name. In addition, the m_delete_data flag of to_migrate is set to true. So if you want to migrate data, the only thing to do after this call is converting the data in the m_parameter fields. If unsure how to use - have a look into an example for this. (base_migration_type_conversion.cpp for example)

Parameters
param_baseset of TParameter instances to use for migration
targetparameter info for the resulting TParameter
replacement(used as output) here the TParameter instance which is returned by migration is created into
to_migratethe only source that is used for migration
old_namewith this parameter, a name change may be specified
