Class CompositeServer

object --+
         |
        CompositeServer

exposes an interface for composite COM servers

This interface does not support modifying the composite, only
 classifying new examples

**Public Methods**

 - LoadComposite

 - ClassifyExample

 - ShowComposite

 - GetVoteDetails

 - SetInputOrder

 - GetDescriptorNames

 - Close

**Public Attributes**

  None
 
**ProgID**

  RD.Composite

Method Details

[hide private]

Close(self)

source code

Blows out the local composite

**Note**

  _LoadComposite()_ must be called after this for further use of the
  composite

LoadComposite(self, fileName)

source code

Loads a (pickled) composite from a file

**Arguments**
  - fileName: the name of the file to load

ShowComposite(self)

source code

returns a string representation of the composite

GetVoteDetails(self)

source code

returns a list of the results of the last vote

SetInputOrder(self, colNames)

source code

Sets the input order for the composite

this is used so that the composite can remap inputs which are not
in an order it expects

**Arguments**

  - colNames: a list of the names of the columns in the data which will be
     passed in to the composite

**Notes**

  - there must be a column name which matches each of the composite's
    descriptors (accessible via _GetDescriptorNames()_)

GetDescriptorNames(self)

source code

returns a list of the descriptor names the composite expects

ClassifyExample(self, example, threshold=0)

source code

classifies a new example

**Arguments**

  - example: a list containing the example to be classified

  - threshold: the threshold to be used for high-confidence predictions

**Returns**

  a list two elements long:

     1) the classification (this will be -1 if the confidence of the prediction
        was below _threshold_

     2) the confidence
