Train()

Third time this phase has found this shape: the CSV module's per-cell regex recompile, the linear solver's per-variable re-parse, and now this. The expensive line is rarely the one the plan names -- the plan said "trees -> engine", and the tree was never the problem.

oM = new stzDecisionTree(new stzTrainingSet([

		[ ["RAIN","low"],   "yes" ], [ ["rain","LOW"],   "yes" ],
		[ ["Overcast","High"], "yes" ] ]))
oM.Train()
# an upper-case query finds the lower-case branch
? oM.Classify(["SUNNY","HIGH"])
# ...and the reverse
? oM.Classify(["rain","low"])
# ...and a mixed one
? oM.Classify(["Overcast","high"])
# the root has one branch per FOLDED value
? len(oM.Tree()[:branches]) < 4

The extensions of this method

Each extension, and whether it exists for this method; an extension that exists combines with the others (FindSTCS).

Extension
Exists
What it adds · The names
Q
no
does what the method does, then returns the object, so the call can be chained
QQ
no
chains on the next, more specific type of object (the Q ladder)
QQQ
no
chains on the most specific type of object (the Q ladder)
QRT
no
returns the result as an object of the requested type
CS
no
takes a case-sensitivity flag
ST
no
takes the position to start from (StartingAt)
IB
no
takes bounds that are included (IncludingBounds)
XT
no
the extended form: more parameters than the base method
XTT
no
yet another extension: a further extended form, after XT
Z
no
includes the position in what it returns
ZZ
no
returns positions as sections, [start, end]
W
no
selects by a condition
WF
no
selects by a condition, with the expressive keywords (@NextItem, @PreviousItem...)
D
no
takes a direction, forward or backward (Directional)
F
no
takes a function (the condition or the update is given as a function); the forms document also uses F for the future form, which defers the action
Many
no
works on a collection of items instead of one (the plural form)
Except
no
takes exceptions, what to leave out (the exceptional form)
U
no
returns the result without duplication

Every example is a test file of the library, run inside the library for this page; only those whose output kept every promise their file wrote are shown.
