All Implemented Interfaces:

Function, Storable

public class DoesNothingLogPrior
extends LogPrior

This class defines a LogPrior that does not penalize any parameter.

Author:

Jens Keilwagen

Field Summary

static DoesNothingLogPrior

defaultInstance As this prior does not penalize parameters and does not have any parameters itself, this class does not have a constructor, but provides a default instance in order to reduce memory consumption.

Method Summary

void	addGradientFor(double[] params, double[] grad) Adds the gradient of the log-prior using the current parameters to a given vector.
double	evaluateFunction(double[] params) Evaluates the function at a certain vector (in mathematical sense) x.
int	getDimensionOfScope() Returns the dimension of the scope of the Function.
String	getInstanceName() Returns a short instance name.

Field Detail

defaultInstance

public static final DoesNothingLogPrior defaultInstance

As this prior does not penalize parameters and does not have any parameters itself, this class does not have a constructor, but provides a default instance in order to reduce memory consumption.

Method Detail

evaluateFunction

public double evaluateFunction(double[] params)

Description copied from interface: Function

Evaluates the function at a certain vector (in mathematical sense) x.

Parameters:

params - the current vector

Returns:

the evaluation of the function

addGradientFor

public void addGradientFor(double[] params,
                           double[] grad)

Description copied from class: LogPrior

Adds the gradient of the log-prior using the current parameters to a given vector.

Specified by:

addGradientFor in class LogPrior

Parameters:

params - the parameters

grad - the vector

getDimensionOfScope

public int getDimensionOfScope()

Description copied from interface: Function

Returns the dimension of the scope of the Function.

Returns:

the dimension of the scope: n with

getNewInstance

public LogPrior getNewInstance()
                        throws CloneNotSupportedException

Description copied from class: LogPrior

This method returns an empty new instance of the current prior. The method works similar to clone, but does not clone DifferentiableSequenceScore s that may be inside the instance. The DifferentiableSequenceScores must be set by an invocation of the method LogPrior.set(boolean, DifferentiableSequenceScore...).

Specified by:

getNewInstance in class LogPrior

Returns:

a new empty instance of the prior

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException - if something went wrong while cloning

See Also:

LogPrior.set(boolean, DifferentiableSequenceScore...)

toXML

@Deprecated
public StringBuffer toXML()
                   throws RuntimeException

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: LogPrior

Encodes the prior as an XML representation. It does not encode all information, since the method LogPrior.set(boolean, DifferentiableSequenceScore...) has to be invoked after decoding.

Specified by:

toXML in interface Storable

Specified by:

toXML in class LogPrior

Returns:

the XML representation;

Throws:

RuntimeException

getInstanceName

public String getInstanceName()

Description copied from class: LogPrior

Returns a short instance name.

Specified by:

getInstanceName in class LogPrior

Returns:

a short instance name
