Method Detail

evaluateAsDouble

double evaluateAsDouble(InputType input)

Categorizes the given input vector as a double where values greater than zero are in the true category and less than zero are in the false category. Zero can be treated as unknown or as the true category, depending on the categorizer.

Parameters:

input - The input value to categorize.

Returns:

The categorization of the input value where the sign is the categorization.
