Suite

Suite(values, name)

Represents a suite of hypotheses and their probabilities.

@Params:

param	type	description
values	string	array
name	string	sequence of values

@Methods:

Important: This class inherits from Pmf, so you can use all methods of the parent class.

.update(data)

Updates each hypothesis based on the data.

@Params:

param	type	description
data	any	any representation of the data

@Returns: the normalizing constant

.logUpdate(data)

Updates a suite of hypotheses based on new data.

Modifies the suite directly; if you want to keep the original, make a copy.

Note: unlike Update, LogUpdate does not normalize.

@Params:

param	type	description
any	any	representation of the data

.updateSet(dataset)

Updates each hypothesis based on the dataset.

This is more efficient than calling Update repeatedly because

it waits until the end to Normalize.

Modifies the suite directly; if you want to keep the original, make a copy.

@Params:

param	type	description
dataset	array	set

@Returns: the normalizing constant

.logUpdateSet(dataset)

Updates each hypothesis based on the dataset.

Modifies the suite directly; if you want to keep the original, make a copy.

@Params:

param	type	description
dataset	array	set

.likelihood(data, hypo)

Computes the likelihood of the data under the hypothesis.

This method needs implement by children class

if not there is an UnimplementedMethodException would be throw

@Params:

param	type	description
data	any	some representation of the data
hypo	any	some representation of the hypothesis

@Returns: likelihood

.logLikelihood(data, hypo)

Computes the log likelihood of the data under the hypothesis.

This method needs implement by children class

if not there is an UnimplementedMethodException would be throw

@Params:

param	type	description
data	any	some representation of the data
hypo	any	some representation of the hypothesis

@Returns: likelihood

.makeOdds()

Transforms from probabilities to odds.

Values with prob=0 are removed.

.makeProbs()

Transforms from odds to probabilities.
