## de.jstacs.scoringFunctions.mix
Class AbstractMixtureScoringFunction

    java.lang.Object
      de.jstacs.scoringFunctions.AbstractNormalizableScoringFunction
          de.jstacs.scoringFunctions.mix.AbstractMixtureScoringFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:
  NormalizableScoringFunction, ScoringFunction, Storable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  HiddenMotifsMixture, MixtureScoringFunction, StrandScoringFunction

    public abstract class AbstractMixtureScoringFunction

extends AbstractNormalizableScoringFunction

This main abstract class for any mixture scoring function (e.g. "real" mixture, strand mixture, hidden motif mixture, ...). The potential for the hidden variables is parameterized depending on the parameterization of the given `NormalizableScoringFunction`s. If these are already normalized (see `NormalizableScoringFunction.isNormalized()` ) the potential is parameterized using the Meila-parameterization, otherwise it is parameterized using the unnormalized MRF(Markov Random Fields)-parameterization.
