** Method that allowed to convert ConstIterator into non-const Iterators were removed because they were facilitating the violation of const-correctness | |||
* Various API modifications | |||
** SearchResultVectorType trait was removed. Search is to be implemented as an external algorithm. | |||
** Resize( unsigned int ) now is Resize( InstanceIdentifier ) (keeping 64bits in mind) | |||
** PushBack() before passed the argument by copy, now it passes it as a const reference | |||
** Size() method used to return unsigned int, now it returns InstanceIdentifier (keeping 64bits in mind) | |||

* The implementation code of most methods was moved to the .txx file. | |||
|| | |||
* It derives now from the Sample class directly | |||
* Iterators | |||
** ConstIterator use friendship to the ListSample | |||
** operator-- removed | |||
** non-const Iterator is no longer a friend of the ConstIterator. Instead it derives from the ConstIterator | |||
** The following methods were declared but not implemented, in the protected section with the purpose of preventing const-correctness violations | |||
*** Iterator() constructor | |||
*** Iterator(const Self * sample) constructor of non-const iterator from const sample | |||
*** Iterator( typename InternalDataContainerType::const_iterator iter, InstanceIdentifier iid) constructor of non-const iterator from const sample iterator | |||
*** Iterator(const ConstIterator & it) constructor of non-const iterator from ConstIterator | |||
*** ConstIterator& operator=(const ConstIterator& it) Assignment of ConstIterator to non-const Iterator. | |||
** The followin methods were moved to the protected section, since only the ListSample class (which is a friend) should call them | |||
*** Iterator( typename InternalDataContainerType::iterator iter, InstanceIdentifier iid):ConstIterator( iter, iid ) | |||

* Modified by removing the measurement vector size from its template parameters. This Histogram class can now be used for Samples whose measurement vector size is not known at compilation time.

== Frequency Containers == | == Frequency Containers == | ||
The use of the data type "FrequencyType" defined in the frequency containers was very confusing in the previous statistics framework. FrequencyType was used to refer to the number of counts(hits) in a histogram bin. This is basically what absolute frequency is. In other instances, FrequencyType was used to refer to relative (normalized) frequencies. This concept mixing creates a lot of confusion. Hence, in the new statistics framework, we have separated the two concepts and defined separate types. | |||
//Absolute Frequency type alias <br> | |||
typedef MeasurementVectorTraits::AbsoluteFrequencyType AbsoluteFrequencyType; | |||
//Relative Frequency type alias <br> | |||
typedef MeasurementVectorTraits::RelativeFrequencyType RelativeFrequencyType; | |||
Formal definition of relative and absolute frequencies can be found at | |||
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(statistics) | |||
The above frequency types are defined in the MeasurmentVectorTraits as follows <br> | |||
<font style="color: red;"> | |||
/** In the old framework, the FrequencyType is set to float. The problem is for large histograms the total frequency can be more than 1e+7, than increasing the frequency by one does not change the total frequency (because of lack of precision). Using double type will also ultimately fall into the same problem. Hence in the new statistics framework, InstanceIdentifier/FrequencyTypes are set to the the largest possible integer on the machine */ <br> | |||
</font> | |||
typedef std::vector<int>::size_type InstanceIdentifier; <br> | |||
/** Type defined for representing the frequency of measurement vectors */ <br> | |||
typedef InstanceIdentifier AbsoluteFrequencyType; <br> | |||
typedef NumericTraits< AbsoluteFrequencyType >::RealType RelativeFrequencyType; <br> | |||
typedef NumericTraits< AbsoluteFrequencyType >::AccumulateType TotalAbsoluteFrequencyType; <br> | |||
typedef NumericTraits< RelativeFrequencyType >::AccumulateType TotalRelativeFrequencyType; <br> | |||
The containers are renamed with a suffix "2" to be able to generate a separate ITKStatistics library and be able to link with the old library during the refactoring. But once the refactoring is finialized, the name should be changed back to the original names. | |||

How To Migrate your code to the New Statistics Framework
Measurement Containers
Class Name | Fate | Deprecated API | New API |
---|---|---|---|
Sample | Refactored |
|
|
Subsample | Refactored |
|
|
ListSampleBase | Deprecated. The class was unecessary, it was providing only a Search() method that should in fact be provided by a process class, not a data container. |
|
|
ListSample | Refactored |
|
|
MembershipSample | Refactoring in Progress Luis |
|
|
Histogram | Refactored same name |
|
|
VariableDimensionHistogram | Merged with the Histogram class above | ||
KdTree | moved with the same name |
Frequency Containers
The use of the data type "FrequencyType" defined in the frequency containers was very confusing in the previous statistics framework. FrequencyType was used to refer to the number of counts(hits) in a histogram bin. This is basically what absolute frequency is. In other instances, FrequencyType was used to refer to relative (normalized) frequencies. This concept mixing creates a lot of confusion. Hence, in the new statistics framework, we have separated the two concepts and defined separate types.
//Absolute Frequency type alias
typedef MeasurementVectorTraits::AbsoluteFrequencyType AbsoluteFrequencyType;
//Relative Frequency type alias
typedef MeasurementVectorTraits::RelativeFrequencyType RelativeFrequencyType;
Formal definition of relative and absolute frequencies can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(statistics)
The above frequency types are defined in the MeasurmentVectorTraits as follows
/** In the old framework, the FrequencyType is set to float. The problem is for large histograms the total frequency can be more than 1e+7, than increasing the frequency by one does not change the total frequency (because of lack of precision). Using double type will also ultimately fall into the same problem. Hence in the new statistics framework, InstanceIdentifier/FrequencyTypes are set to the the largest possible integer on the machine */
typedef std::vector<int>::size_type InstanceIdentifier;
/** Type defined for representing the frequency of measurement vectors */
typedef InstanceIdentifier AbsoluteFrequencyType;
typedef NumericTraits< AbsoluteFrequencyType >::RealType RelativeFrequencyType;
typedef NumericTraits< AbsoluteFrequencyType >::AccumulateType TotalAbsoluteFrequencyType;
typedef NumericTraits< RelativeFrequencyType >::AccumulateType TotalRelativeFrequencyType;
The containers are renamed with a suffix "2" to be able to generate a separate ITKStatistics library and be able to link with the old library during the refactoring. But once the refactoring is finialized, the name should be changed back to the original names.
Class Name | Fate | Deprecated API | New API |
---|---|---|---|
DenseFrequencyContainer | Refactored into DenseFrequencyContainer2 |
|
|

Adaptors
Class Name | Fate | Deprecated API | New API |
---|---|---|---|
ImageToCoocurrenceListAdaptor | Refactored into "ScalarImageToCoocurrenceListSampleFilter" |
|
|
ImageToListAdaptor | Refactored into "ImageToListSampleAdaptor". This class handles images with scalar, fixed size array (itk::FixedArray) and variable length vector (itk::VariableLengthVector) pixel types. |
|
|
ScalarImageToListAdaptor | Deprecated ( This class is redundant as the new ImageToListSampleAdaptor also handles scalar images with scalar pixel type. ) | ||
JointDomainImageToListAdaptor | Refactored into "JointDomainImageToListSampleAdaptor" |
|
|
PointSetToListAdapor | Refactored into "PointSetToListSampleAdaptor" |
|
|
Univariate Distributions
Class Name | Fate | Deprecated API | New API |
---|---|---|---|
Algorithms
Algorithms, including FloorLog, MedianOfThree, FindSampleBound, FindSampleBoundAndMean, Partition, QuickSelect, NthElement, InsertSort, DownHeap, HeapSort, IntrospectiveSortLoop, IntrospectiveSort, have been moved from the itk::Statistics namespace to the itk::Statistics::Algorithm namespace.

|
|

ImageToHistogramGenerator | Refactored into ImageToHistogramFilter |
|
|
Filters
Class Name | Fate | Deprecated API | New API |
---|---|---|---|
ListSampleToHistogramFilter | Refactored as SampleToHistogramFilter |
