Constructor Detail

MetricMDNMLoss

public MetricMDNMLoss()

Default constructor which treats all transformation methods equally.

MetricMDNMLoss

public MetricMDNMLoss(Metric.AggregateFunction function)

Default constructor which treats all transformation methods equally.

Parameters:

function -

MetricMDNMLoss

public MetricMDNMLoss(double gsFactor,
                      Metric.AggregateFunction function)

A constructor that allows to define a factor weighting generalization and suppression.

Parameters:

gsFactor - A factor [0,1] weighting generalization and suppression. The default value is 0.5, which means that generalization and suppression will be treated equally. A factor of 0 will favor suppression, and a factor of 1 will favor generalization. The values in between can be used for balancing both methods.
