Method Detail

### getSizeOfEventSpaceForRandomVariablesOfParameter

    int getSizeOfEventSpaceForRandomVariablesOfParameter(int index)

  Returns the size of the event space of the random variables that are affected by parameter no. `index`, i.e. the product of the sizes of the alphabets at the position of each random variable affected by parameter `index`. For DNA alphabets this corresponds to 4 for a PWM, 16 for a WAM except position 0, ...

  Parameters:
    `index` - the index of the parameter
  Returns:
    the size of the event space

### getLogNormalizationConstant

    double getLogNormalizationConstant()

  Returns the logarithm of the sum of the scores over all sequences of the event space.

  Returns:
    the logarithm of the normalization constant Z

### getLogPartialNormalizationConstant

    double getLogPartialNormalizationConstant(int parameterIndex)
                                              throws Exception

  Returns the logarithm of the partial normalization constant for the parameter with index `parameterIndex`. This is the logarithm of the partial derivation of the normalization constant for the parameter with index `parameterIndex`,
  .

  Parameters:
    `parameterIndex` - the index of the parameter
  Returns:
    the logarithm of the partial normalization constant
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if something went wrong with the normalization
  See Also:
    `getLogNormalizationConstant()`

### getEss

    double getEss()

  Returns the equivalent sample size (ess) of this model, i.e. the equivalent sample size for the class or component that is represented by this model.

  Returns:
    the equivalent sample size.

### getLogPriorTerm

    double getLogPriorTerm()

  This method computes a value that is proportional to

  ``getEss()` * `getLogNormalizationConstant()` + Math.log( prior )`

  where `prior` is the prior for the parameters of this model.

  Returns:
    a value that is proportional to ``getEss()` * `getLogNormalizationConstant()` + Math.log( prior ).`
  See Also:
    `getEss()`, `getLogNormalizationConstant()`

### addGradientOfLogPriorTerm

    void addGradientOfLogPriorTerm(double[] grad,
                                   int start)
                                   throws Exception

  This method computes the gradient of `getLogPriorTerm()` for each parameter of this model. The results are added to the array `grad` beginning at index `start`.

  Parameters:
    `grad` - the array of gradients
    `start` - the start index in the `grad` array, where the partial derivations for the parameters of this models shall be entered
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if something went wrong with the computing of the gradients
  See Also:
    `getLogPriorTerm()`

### isNormalized

    boolean isNormalized()

  This method indicates whether the implemented score is already normalized to 1 or not. The standard implementation returns `false`.

  Returns:
    `true` if the implemented score is already normalized to 1, `false` otherwise

### getInitialClassParam

    double getInitialClassParam(double classProb)

  Description copied from interface: `ScoringFunction`
  Returns the initial class parameter for the class this `ScoringFunction` is responsible for, based on the class probability `classProb`.

  Specified by:
    `getInitialClassParam` in interface `ScoringFunction`
  Parameters:
    `classProb` - the class probability
  Returns:
    the initial class parameter
