Class LikelihoodMap<X, Y>
X: The type predicated by the distribution.
Y: The type on which the predictions depend.
Summary
A conditional distribution that maps likelihood functions over Y to distinct values of X.
Constructor Summary
Creates an empty conditional distribution.
Method Summary
BayesianInference(X, RandomDistribution<Y>)
Inherited from Cognitoware.Mathematics.Probability.RandomConditional
Calculate the conditional probability for a value of X given a known value of Y.
Creates a probability distribution over X conditioned on a specific value of Y.

Details
ConditionalMap contains a dictionary that maps discrete values of Y to distributions of X.
X is required to be discrete.
Y may be continuous or discrete.
The functions over Y are not necessarily normalized.
Constructor Details
public LikelihoodMap()
Creates an empty conditional distribution.
Method Details
public override Double ConditionalProbabilityOf(X x, Y y)
This method returns the probability of result being observed given the fact that you know range is observed.
It simply looks up the distribution associated with result and asks it for the probability of range.
An exception will be thrown if no distribution is found mapped to result.
This method implements the abstract declaration in RandomConditional.
Parameters:
x - The value in X.
y - The conditional value in Y.
Returns:
The probability of result conditioned on range.
public override RandomDistribution<X> ConditionBy(Y y)
Creates a probability distribution over X given a known value y.
Parameters:
y - The value of Y over which the conditional distribution.
Returns:
The probability of X given the specific value of Y.
public override RandomDistribution<Y> LikelihoodOf(X x)
Returns the distribution of Y that is mapped to the specific value of result.
An exception is thrown if there is no distribution mapped to result.
Returns:
A likelihood function as a RandomDistribution. Because the returned value is not normalized, it is a likelihood function and not a distribution.
public override RandomDistribution<X> Marginalize(RandomDistribution<Y> y)
This method throws a NotImplementedException.
public void Set(X x, RandomDistribution<Y> y)
Maps a distribution over Y to a value of X.
Parameters:
x - The value of X to map to the likelihood function.
y - The likelihood function to map to X.
