Method Detail

### addValue

    public void addValue(double data,
                         double weight)

  Add a new data value to the current estimator. Does nothing because the data is provided in the constructor.

  Specified by:
    `addValue` in interface `IncrementalEstimator`
  Overrides:
    `addValue` in class `Estimator`
  Parameters:
    `data` - the new data value
    `weight` - the weight assigned to the data value

### getProbability

    public double getProbability(double data)

  Get a probability estimate for a value

  Specified by:
    `getProbability` in class `Estimator`
  Parameters:
    `data` - the value to estimate the probability of
  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`

### getCapabilities

    public Capabilities getCapabilities()

  Returns default capabilities of the classifier.

  Specified by:
    `getCapabilities` in interface `CapabilitiesHandler`
  Overrides:
    `getCapabilities` in class `Estimator`
  Returns:
    the capabilities of this classifier
  See Also:
    `Capabilities`

### getRevision

    public java.lang.String getRevision()

  Returns the revision string.

  Specified by:
    `getRevision` in interface `RevisionHandler`
  Returns:
    the revision

### main

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

  Main method for testing this class.

  Parameters:
    `argv` - should contain a sequence of numeric values
