Detailed Description

template<class TSample>
class itk::Statistics::SampleClassifier< TSample >

Integration point for MembershipCalculator, DecisionRule, and target sample data.

The first template argument is the type of the target sample data that this classifier will assign a class label for each measurement vector. The second one is the type of a membership value calculator for each. A membership calculator represents a specific knowledge about a class. In other words, it should tell us how "likely" is that a measurement vector (pattern) belong to the class. The third argument is the type of decision rule. The main role of a decision rule is comparing the return values of the membership calculators. However, decision rule can include some prior knowledge that can improve the result.

Before you call the GenerateData method to start the classification process, you should plug in all necessary parts ( one or more membership calculators, a decision rule, and a target sample data). To plug in the decision rule, you use SetDecisionRule method, for the target sample data, SetSample method, and for the membership calculators, use AddMembershipCalculator method.

As the method name indicates, you can have more than one membership calculator. One for each classes. The order you put the membership calculator becomes the class label for the class that is represented by the membership calculator.

The classification result is stored in a vector of Subsample object. Each class has its own class sample (Subsample object) that has InstanceIdentifiers for all measurement vectors belong to the class. The InstanceIdentifiers come from the target sample data. Therefore, the Subsample objects act as separate class masks.
