Detailed Description

template<class LabelType, class PreprocessorTag>
class vigra::RandomForest< LabelType, PreprocessorTag >

Random Forest class

Template Parameters:
<PrprocessorTag= ClassificationTag> Class used to preprocess the input while learning and predicting. Currently Available: ClassificationTag and RegressionTag. It is recommended to use Splitfunctor::Preprocessor_t while using custom splitfunctors as they may need the data to be in a different format.

Preprocessor, How to make a Split Functor

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RandomForest ( Options_t const &  options = Options_t(),
ProblemSpec_t const &  ext_param = ProblemSpec_t() 
)

default constructor

Parameters:
optionsgeneral options to the Random Forest. Must be of Type Options_t
ext_paramproblem specific values that can be supplied additionally. (class weights , labels etc)
See also:
ProblemSpec_t

simple usage for classification (regression is not yet supported):

      typedef xxx feature_t \\ replace xxx with whichever type
      typedef yyy label_t   \\ meme chose. 
      MultiArrayView<2, feature_t> f = get_some_features();
      MultiArrayView<2, label_t>   l = get_some_labels)(
      RandomForest<> rf()
      double oob_error = rf.learn(f, l);
      
      MultiArrayView<2, feature_t> pf = get_some_unknown_features();
      MultiArrayView<2, label_t> prediction 
                                      = allocate_space_for_response();
      MultiArrayView<2, double> prob  = allocate_space_for_probability();
      
      rf.predict_labels(pf, prediction);
      rf.predict_probabilities(pf, prob);
  • Default Response/Label type is double
RandomForest ( int  treeCount,
TreeIterator  trees,
WeightIterator  weights,
ProblemSpec_t const &  problem_spec,
Options_t const &  options = Options_t() 
)

Create RF from external source.

Parameters:
treeCountNumber of trees to add.
treesIterator to a Container where the topology_ data of the trees are stored.
weightsiterator to a Container where the parameters_ data of the trees are stored.
problem_specExtrinsic parameters that specify the problem e.g. ClassCount, featureCount etc.
options(optional) specify options used to train the original Random forest. This parameter is not used anywhere during prediction and thus is optional.

TODO: Note: This constructor may be replaced by a Constructor using NodeProxy iterators to encapsulate the underlying data type.


Member Function Documentation

ProblemSpec_t const& ext_param ( ) const

return external parameters for viewing

Returns:
ProblemSpec_t
void set_ext_param ( ProblemSpec_t const &  in)

set external parameters

Parameters:
inexternal parameters to be set

set external parameters explicitly. If Random Forest has not been trained the preprocessor will either ignore filling values set this way or will throw an exception if values specified manually do not match the value calculated & during the preparation step.

See also:
Option_t::presupplied_ext_param member for further details.
Options_t& set_options ( )

access random forest options

Returns:
random forest options
Options_t const& options ( ) const

access const random forest options

Returns:
const Option_t
