Method Detail

calculate

public static double calculate(double[] counts,
                               double totalCount)

information calculation for multiclass classification

Parameters:

counts - Array[Double] with counts for each label

totalCount - sum of counts for all labels

Returns:

information value, or 0 if totalCount = 0

calculate

public static double calculate(double count,
                               double sum,
                               double sumSquares)

variance calculation

Parameters:

count - number of instances

sum - sum of labels

sumSquares - summation of squares of the labels

Returns:

information value, or 0 if count = 0

instance

public static org.apache.spark.mllib.tree.impurity.Entropy$ instance()

Get this impurity instance. This is useful for passing impurity parameters to a Strategy in Java.

Returns:
