learn

public BetaDistribution learn(java.util.Collection<? extends WeightedValue<? extends java.lang.Double>> data)

Description copied from interface: BatchLearner

The learn method creates an object of ResultType using data of type DataType, using some form of "learning" algorithm.

Specified by:

learn in interface BatchLearner<java.util.Collection<? extends WeightedValue<? extends java.lang.Double>>,BetaDistribution>

Parameters:

data - The data that the learning algorithm will use to create an object of ResultType.

Returns:

The object that is created based on the given data using the learning algorithm.
