gum::learning::Score::Score ( const DBRowGeneratorParser & parser,
const Prior & external_prior,
const std::vector< std::pair< std::size_t, std::size_t > > & ranges,
const Bijection< NodeId, std::size_t > & nodeId2columns = BijectionNodeId, std::size_t >() )

default constructor

Parameters
parserthe parser used to parse the database
external_priorAn prior that we add to the computation of the score (this should come from expert knowledge)
rangesa set of pairs {(X1,Y1),...,(Xn,Yn)} of database's rows indices. The counts are then performed only on the union of the rows [Xi,Yi), i in {1,...,n}. This is useful, e.g, when performing cross validation tasks, in which part of the database should be ignored. An empty set of ranges is equivalent to an interval [X,Y) ranging over the whole database.
nodeId2Columnsa mapping from the ids of the nodes in the graphical model to the corresponding column in the DatabaseTable parsed by the parser. This enables estimating from a database in which variable A corresponds to the 2nd column the parameters of a BN in which variable A has a NodeId of 5. An empty nodeId2Columns bijection means that the mapping is an identity, i.e., the value of a NodeId is equal to the index of the column in the DatabaseTable.
Warning
If nodeId2columns is not empty, then only the scores over the ids belonging to this bijection can be computed: applying method score() over other ids will raise exception NotFound.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ database()

const DatabaseTable & gum::learning::Score::database ( ) const

return the database used by the score

◆ getNumberOfThreads()

virtual Size gum::learning::Score::getNumberOfThreads ( ) const
virtual

returns the current max number of threads of the scheduler

Implements gum::IThreadNumberManager.

◆ internalPrior()

virtual const Prior & gum::learning::Score::internalPrior ( ) const
pure virtual

returns the internal prior of the score

Some scores include an prior. For instance, the K2 score is a BD score with a Laplace Prior ( smoothing(1) ). BDeu is a BD score with a N'/(r_i * q_i) prior, where N' is an effective sample size and r_i is the domain size of the target variable and q_i is the domain size of the Cartesian product of its parents. The goal of the score's internal prior classes is to enable to account for these priors outside the score, e.g., when performing parameter estimation. It is important to note that, to be meaningful, a structure + parameter learning requires that the same priors are taken into account during structure learning and parameter learning.

Implemented in gum::learning::ScoreAIC, gum::learning::ScoreBD, gum::learning::ScoreBDeu, gum::learning::ScoreBIC, gum::learning::ScorefNML, gum::learning::ScoreK2, and gum::learning::ScoreLog2Likelihood.

◆ isGumNumberOfThreadsOverriden()

virtual bool gum::learning::Score::isGumNumberOfThreadsOverriden ( ) const
virtual

indicates whether the user set herself the number of threads

Implements gum::IThreadNumberManager.

◆ isPriorCompatible()

virtual std::string gum::learning::Score::isPriorCompatible ( ) const
pure virtual

indicates whether the prior is compatible (meaningful) with the score

The combination of some scores and priors can be meaningless. For instance, adding a Dirichlet prior to the K2 score is not very meaningful since K2 corresonds to a BD score with a 1-smoothing prior. aGrUM allows you to perform such combination, but you can check with method isPriorCompatible () whether the result the score will give you is meaningful or not.

Implemented in gum::learning::ScoreAIC, gum::learning::ScoreBD, gum::learning::ScoreBDeu, gum::learning::ScoreBIC, gum::learning::ScorefNML, gum::learning::ScoreK2, and gum::learning::ScoreLog2Likelihood.

◆ isUsingCache()

bool gum::learning::Score::isUsingCache ( ) const

An empty nodeId2Columns bijection means that the mapping is an identity, i.e., the value of a NodeId is equal to the index of the column in the DatabaseTable.

virtual double gum::learning::Score::score_ ( const IdCondSet & idset)
protectedpure virtual

Exceptions
OperationNotAllowedis raised if the score does not support calling method score such an idset (due to too many/too few variables in the left hand side or the right hand side of the idset).

Implemented in gum::learning::ScoreAIC, gum::learning::ScoreBD, gum::learning::ScoreBDeu, gum::learning::ScoreBIC, gum::learning::ScorefNML, gum::learning::ScoreK2, and gum::learning::ScoreLog2Likelihood.

◆ setMinNbRowsPerThread()

virtual void gum::learning::Score::setMinNbRowsPerThread ( const std::size_t nb) const
virtual

changes the number min of rows a thread should process in a multithreading context

When computing score, several threads are used by record counters to perform counts on the rows of the database, the MinNbRowsPerThread method indicates how many rows each thread should at least process. This is used to compute the number of threads actually run. This number is equal to the min between the max number of threads allowed and the number of records in the database divided by nb.

◆ setNumberOfThreads()

virtual void gum::learning::Score::setNumberOfThreads ( Size nb)
virtual

sets the number max of threads that can be used

Parameters
nbthe number max of threads to be used. If this number is set to 0, then it is defaulted to aGrUM's max number of threads

Implements gum::IThreadNumberManager.

◆ setRanges()

void gum::learning::Score::setRanges ( const std::vector< std::pair< std::size_t, std::size_t > > & new_ranges)

sets new ranges to perform the counts used by the score

Parameters
rangesa set of pairs {(X1,Y1),...,(Xn,Yn)} of database's rows indices. The counts are then performed only on the union of the rows [Xi,Yi), i in {1,...,n}. This is useful, e.g, when performing cross validation tasks, in which part of the database should be ignored. An empty set of ranges is equivalent to an interval [X,Y) ranging over the whole database.
