Constructor Detail

### NDConditionalEstimator

    public NDConditionalEstimator(int numCondSymbols,
                                  double precision)

  Constructor

  Parameters:
    `numCondSymbols` - the number of conditioning symbols
    `precision` - the precision to which numeric values are given. For example, if the precision is stated to be 0.1, the values in the interval (0.25,0.35] are all treated as 0.3.

Method Detail

### addValue

    public void addValue(double data,
                         double given,
                         double weight)

  Add a new data value to the current estimator.

  Specified by:
    `addValue` in interface `ConditionalEstimator`
  Parameters:
    `data` - the new data value
    `given` - the new value that data is conditional upon
    `weight` - the weight assigned to the data value

### getEstimator

    public Estimator getEstimator(double given)

  Get a probability estimator for a value

  Specified by:
    `getEstimator` in interface `ConditionalEstimator`
  Parameters:
    `data` - the value to estimate the probability of
    `given` - the new value that data is conditional upon
  Returns:
    the estimator for the supplied value given the condition

### getProbability

    public double getProbability(double data,
                                 double given)

  Get a probability estimate for a value

  Specified by:
    `getProbability` in interface `ConditionalEstimator`
  Parameters:
    `data` - the value to estimate the probability of
    `given` - the new value that data is conditional upon
  Returns:
    the estimated probability of the supplied value

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Display a representation of this estimator

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`

### main

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

  Main method for testing this class.

  Parameters:
    `argv` - should contain a sequence of pairs of integers which will be treated as numeric, symbolic.
