public class TrainSMBasedClassifier
extends AbstractScoreBasedClassifier

Classifier that works on TrainableStatisticalModels for each of the different classes. By calling the AbstractClassifier.train(DataSet...) method of this classifier, all internal TrainableStatisticalModels are learned on the DataSet for the corresponding class using their own TrainableStatisticalModel.train(DataSet) method. In addition, the a-priori class probabilities are estimated. After training, the method AbstractScoreBasedClassifier.getScore(Sequence, int) returns the joint probability (likelihood) of the provided Sequence and the specified class. For two-class problems, the method getScores(DataSet) returns the log-likelihood ratios for all Sequences in the provided DataSet. The methods AbstractScoreBasedClassifier.classify(Sequence) and classify(DataSet) use the likelihoods of Sequence and class and report the class yielding the maximum likelihood.
