Proposals:Refactoring Statistics Framework 2007 Migration Users Guide

How To Migrate your code to the New Statistics Framework

Measurement Containers



Class Name	Fate	Deprecated API	New API
Sample	Refactored	Does not derives from Object anymore, now it derives from DataObject. typedef for InstanceIdentifier was replaced from unsigned long to std::vector<MeasurementVectorType>::size_type Size() method now returns InstanceIdentifier type, before it returned unsigned int, which was inconsistent with the declaration of InstanceIdentifier as unsigned long. The return type of Size() must be the same use for Id of the elements, since it may reach the same maximum number. Removing unnecessary const in identifiers GetMeasurementVector( const InstanceItentifier & id ) is now GetMeasurementVector( InstanceItentifier id ) GetFrequency( const InstanceItentifier & id ) is now GetFrequency( InstanceItentifier id ) SetMeasurementVectorSize( const MeasurementVectorSizeType s ) is now SetMeasurementVectorSize( MeasurementVectorSizeType s )	const-correctness is now enforced. It now derives from DataObject
Subsample	Refactored	The concept of Indices and InstanceIdentifiers was fixed. InstanceIdentifiers were previously referring to the original Sample, they are now referring to the current Subsample set of measurement vectors.	The basic principle followed now in the design of the Subsample class is that the subsample should behave as a sample. That is, a user should be able to use a Subsample class in any algorithm that is expecting a Sample.
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.	If you were deriving a class from the itk::Statistics::ListSampleBase, you should now derive directly from the itk::Statistics::Sample class. If you were using the Search() method you can get that functionality now from the itkStatisticsAlgorithm Search() algorithm.
ListSample	Refactored	The iterators API was updated, const-correctness is now enforced
MembershipSample	Refactored	It does not derive from itk::Sample anymore, instead it derives from DataObject.
Histogram	Refactored
VariableDimensionHistogram
KdTree	Refactored

Traits

Class Name	Fate	Deprecated API	New API
MeasurementVectorTraits	Refactored (same name)		Added Assert() instantiations for comparing length of FixedArray raw pointer, std::vector raw pointer FixedArray reference, std::vector reference Added Assign() method for generalizing the assignment of scalars and vector types Assign() vectorType to vectorType Assign() scalarType to FixedArray< scalarType, 1 > Added trait MeasurementVectorType to be used as MeasurementVectorPixelTraits< PixelType >::MeasurementVectorType This trait generalizes the mechanism for creating a measurement vector using as component type the pixel type of an image Added explicit testing up to 100% code coverage
