Detailed Description

A combined trivial prediction method.

A prediction method that combines the other trivial methods by first ranking their performance on each month in the training set, and then choosing the best ranking method to predict a particular month in a test set.

This has proven to be a rather good prediction method for many cases.

Member Function Documentation

void make (  const StringMap &    params )  [virtual]

Initialization. Reimplemented from PredictionStrategy. Definition at line 346 of file prediction.cc. References PredictionStrategy::make(), and PredictionStrategy::mInputMonths.

Ref< Matrix > predict (  const Matrix &    testdata, int    startmonth )  const [virtual]

Tests the data and returns the monthly predictions in matrix. Must be implemented by prediction strategies. Parameters: startmonth  See train(). Reimplemented from PredictionStrategy. Definition at line 442 of file prediction.cc.

void train (  const Matrix &    traindata, int    startmonth )  [virtual]

Trains the learning method with the given data. Must be implemented by prediction strategies. Parameters: startmonth  Zero-based month number for the first sample in the data. The month number can be in range 0-11, but only the last two digits are interpreted as months, so it can have values like 199905 or 9905. Reimplemented from PredictionStrategy. Definition at line 370 of file prediction.cc.
