Detailed Description

template<typename TVector>
class itk::Statistics::MembershipFunctionBase< TVector >

MembershipFunctionBase defines common interfaces for membership functions.

MembershipFunctionBase is a subclass of FunctionBase which restricts the function type to be a membership function. Membership functions provide a mapping from an arbitrary domain to a set of real numbers. Membership functions are typically used to model or approximate likelihood functions, $p( x | i )$ , i.e. the probability of the measurement $x$ belonging to a class $i$ .

The Statistics framework models random variables $x$ as vectors. Typical uses of MembershipFunctions include templating over a FixedArray, Array, Vector, or VariableLengthVector.

The Evaluate() method returns the membership rank or likelihood that the measurement belongs to the class represented by this membership function.

Evaluations of a single measurement across of set MembershipFunctions can then be passed to a DecisionRule in order to establish class (or group) assignment.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename TVector>

virtual double itk::Statistics::MembershipFunctionBase< TVector >::Evaluate ( const MeasurementVectorType & x ) const

overridepure virtual

Method to get membership score (discriminant score) of an entity or measurement. Evaluate() maps from a vector measurement type to a real number.

Implements itk::FunctionBase< TVector, double >.

Implemented in itk::Statistics::MahalanobisDistanceMembershipFunction< TVector >, itk::Statistics::GaussianMembershipFunction< TMeasurementVector >, and itk::Statistics::DistanceToCentroidMembershipFunction< TVector >.

Reimplemented from itk::FunctionBase< TVector, double >.

inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

Definition at line 136 of file itkMembershipFunctionBase.h.

template<typename TVector>

virtual void itk::Statistics::MembershipFunctionBase< TVector >::SetMeasurementVectorSize ( MeasurementVectorSizeType s )

inlinevirtual

Set the length of the measurement vector. If this membership function is templated over a vector type that can be resized, the new size is set. If the vector type has a fixed size and an attempt is made to change its size, an exception is thrown. Subclasses may have to override this method if a change in vector size requires invalidating other instance variables, e.g. covariance matrices, mean vectors, etc.
