LBJ2.classify
Class ValueComparer

java.lang.Object
  LBJ2.classify.Classifier
      LBJ2.classify.ValueComparer

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

MultiValueComparer

public class ValueComparer
extends Classifier

This classifier applies another classifier to the example object and returns a Boolean feature (with value "true" or "false") representing the equality of the argument classifier's feature value to a given value.

MultiValueComparer, Serialized Form

Field Summary

protected Classifier	labeler The classifier whose value will be compared.
protected java.lang.String	value The value to compare with.

Method Summary

java.lang.String[]	allowableValues() Returns the array of allowable values that a feature returned by this classifier may take.
FeatureVector	classify(java.lang.Object o) Returns a Boolean feature (with value "true" or "false") representing the equality of the output of labeler applied to the argument object and value.
