Detailed Description

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
class gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >

the class for packing together the translators used to preprocess the datasets

When learning Bayesian networks, the records of the train dataset are used to construct contingency tables that are either exploited in statistical conditional independence tests or in scores. In both cases, the values observed in the records must be translated into indices in the finite domain of the corresponding random variables. The DBTranslator classes are used for this purpose. To make the parsing of all the columns of the dataset easier, all the DBTranslator instances used are gathered into a DBTranslatorSet.

Here is an example of how to use this class:
// create an empty translator set
std::vector<std::string> missing { "?", "N/A", "???" };
// create the translators and add them to the translator set. First,
// create translator1 that will perform its translations on Column 1
// of the dataset (columns start from index 0)
std::size_t pos1 = set.insertTranslator ( translator1, 1 );
// currently, pos1 is equal to 0, that is, translator1 is the first
// translator in the translator set
// create a translator handling Column 0 of the dataset
std::size_t pos0 = set.insertTranslator ( translator0, 0 );
// translator0 has been inserted into the translator set at position pos0.
// pos0 = 0 because translators are sorted by increasing column order in
// the translator set. So, now, in the set, the first translator is
// translator0 and the the second one is translator1.
std::size_t pos2 = set.insertTranslator ( translator2, 2 );
// the set contains { translator0, translator1, translator2 }, in this order
// parsing the rows of the dataset
std::vector<std::string> row1 { ".33", "toto", "titi" };
float val0 = set.translate ( row1, 0 ).cont_val; // val0 = 0.33f
std::size_t val1 = set.translate ( row1, 1 ).discr_val; // val1 = 0 (toto)
std::size_t val2 = set.translate ( row1, 2 ).discr_val; // val2 = 0 (titi)
std::vector<std::string> row2 { "4.22x", "???", "??" };
val0 = set.translate ( row2, 0 ).cont_val; // raises gum::TypeError
val1 = set.translate ( row2, 1 ).discr_val;
// = std::numeric_limits<std::size_t>::max ()
val2 = set.translate ( row2, 2 ).discr_val; // = 1 (??)
// with method translateSafe, an exception is raised whenever we try to
// translate a column that is not taken into account by the translators
set.translateSafe ( row2, 3 ); // raises gum::UndefinedElement

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
std::size_t gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::domainSize ( const std::size_t  k) const

returns the domain size of the variable stored into the kth translator

Warning
this method assumes that there are at least k translators. So, it won't check that the kth translator actually exists. If unsure, use method domainSizeSafe that performs this check.

◆ domainSizeSafe()

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
std::size_t gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::domainSizeSafe ( const std::size_t  k) const

returns the domain size of the variable stored into the kth translator

Exceptions

◆ eraseTranslator()

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
void gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::eraseTranslator ( const std::size_t  k,
const bool  k_is_input_col = false 
)

erases either the kth translator or those parsing the kth column of the input database

DBTranslatorSets do not necessarily read all the columns of their input database. For instance, a CSV may contain 10 columns, but the DBTranslatorSet may only contain two translators reading columns 3 and 5 respectively. When k_is_input_col is set to false, Parameter k passed in argument corresponds to either 0 or 1, i.e., to the index of one of the two translators stored into the DBTranslatorSet. When k_is_input_col is set to true, the translators to be erased are the ones that parse the kth column of the input database (when several translators parse the column k, all of them are removed).

Warning
if the translator does not exists, nothing is done. In particular, no exception is raised.

◆ getAllocator()

◆ nbTranslators()

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
std::size_t gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::nbTranslators ( ) const

returns the number of translators stored into the set

◆ needsReordering()

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
bool gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::needsReordering ( const std::size_t  k) const

indicates whether a reordering is needed to make the kth translator sorted

For a given translator, if the strings represented by the translations are only numbers, the translations are considered to be sorted if and only if they are sorted by increasing number. If the strings do not only represent numbers, then translations are considered to be sorted if and only if they are sorted lexicographically.

When constructing dynamically its dictionary, the translator may assign wrong DBTranslatedValue values to strings. For instance, a translator reading sequentially integer strings 4, 1, 3, may map 4 into DBTranslatedValue{std::size_t(0)}, 1 into DBTranslatedValue{std::size_t(1)} and 3 into DBTranslatedValue{std::size_t(2)}, resulting in random variables having domain {4,1,3}. The user may prefer having domain {1,3,4}, i.e., a domain specified with increasing values. This requires a reordering. Method needsReodering() returns a Boolean indicating whether such a reordering should be performed or whether the current order is OK.

Warning
this method assumes that there are at least k translators. So, it won't check that the kth translator actually exists. If unsure, use method needsReorderingSafe that performs this check.

◆ needsReorderingSafe()

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
bool gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::needsReorderingSafe ( const std::size_t  k) const

same as method needsReordering but checks that the kth translator exists

Exceptions
UndefinedElementis raised if there are fewer than k translators in the translator set.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >& gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::operator= ( const DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC > &  from)

copy operator

◆ operator=() [2/2]

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >& gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::operator= ( DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC > &&  from)

move operator

◆ operator[]() [1/2]

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
DBTranslator< ALLOC >& gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::operator[] ( const std::size_t  k)

returns the kth translator

Warning
this operator assumes that there are at least k translators. So, it won't check that the kth translator actually exists. If unsure, use method translatorSafe that performs this check.

◆ operator[]() [2/2]

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
const DBTranslator< ALLOC >& gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::operator[] ( const std::size_t  k) const

returns the kth translator

Warning
this operator assumes that there are at least k translators. So, it won't check that the kth translator actually exists. If unsure, use method translatorSafe that performs this check.

◆ reorder()

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
HashTable< std::size_t, std::size_t, ALLOC< std::pair< std::size_t, std::size_t > > > gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::reorder ( const std::size_t  k)

performs a reordering of the dictionary and returns a mapping from the old translated values to the new ones.

When a reordering is needed, i.e., string values must be translated differently, Method reorder() computes how the translations should be changed. It updates accordingly the dictionary and returns the mapping that enables changing the old dictionary values into the new ones. Note that the hash table returned is expressed in terms of std::size_t because only the translations for discrete random variables need be reordered, those for continuous random variables are identity mappings.

Warning
this method assumes that there are at least k translators. So, it won't check that the kth translator actually exists. If unsure, use method reorderSafe that performs this check.

◆ reorderSafe()

template<template< typename > class ALLOC = std::allocator>
HashTable< std::size_t, std::size_t, ALLOC< std::pair< std::size_t, std::size_t > > > gum::learning::DBTranslatorSet< ALLOC >::reorderSafe ( const std::size_t  k)

const std::size_t  k 
) const

ask the kth translator to translate a string in a row of the database

Parameters
