Public predicates

.. index:: learn/3 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::learn/3:

learn/3 ^^^^^^^^^^^

Learns a clusterer from the given dataset object using the specified options.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | learn(Dataset,Clusterer,Options) | Mode and number of proofs: | learn(+object_identifier,-compound,+list(compound)) - one


.. index:: learn/2 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::learn/2:

learn/2 ^^^^^^^^^^^

Learns a clusterer from the given dataset object using default options.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | learn(Dataset,Clusterer) | Mode and number of proofs: | learn(+object_identifier,-compound) - one


.. index:: cluster/3 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::cluster/3:

cluster/3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Assigns a new instance to a cluster using the learned clusterer. The instance is a list of Attribute-Value pairs.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | cluster(Clusterer,Instance,Cluster) | Mode and number of proofs: | cluster(+compound,+list,-ground) - one


.. index:: diagnostics/2 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::diagnostics/2:

diagnostics/2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Returns diagnostics and metadata associated with a learned clusterer in a representation-independent way.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | diagnostics(Clusterer,Diagnostics) | Mode and number of proofs: | diagnostics(+compound,-list(compound)) - one


.. index:: check_clusterer/1 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::check_clusterer/1:

check_clusterer/1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Checks that a learned clusterer term is structurally valid for the receiving implementation. Throws an exception when the term is not a valid clusterer representation.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | check_clusterer(Clusterer) | Mode and number of proofs: | check_clusterer(@compound) - one_or_error

| Exceptions: | Clusterer is a variable: | instantiation_error | Clusterer is neither a variable nor a valid clusterer: | domain_error(clusterer,Clusterer)


.. index:: valid_clusterer/1 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::valid_clusterer/1:

valid_clusterer/1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

True when a learned clusterer term is structurally valid for the receiving implementation. Succeeds iff check_clusterer/1 succeeds without throwing an exception.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | valid_clusterer(Clusterer) | Mode and number of proofs: | valid_clusterer(@compound) - zero_or_one


.. index:: diagnostic/2 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::diagnostic/2:

diagnostic/2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Tests or enumerates individual diagnostics metadata terms for a learned clusterer.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | diagnostic(Clusterer,Diagnostic) | Mode and number of proofs: | diagnostic(+compound,?compound) - zero_or_more


.. index:: clusterer_options/2 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::clusterer_options/2:

clusterer_options/2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Returns the effective training options recorded in a learned clusterer diagnostics list.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | clusterer_options(Clusterer,Options) | Mode and number of proofs: | clusterer_options(+compound,-list(compound)) - one


.. index:: export_to_clauses/4 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::export_to_clauses/4:

export_to_clauses/4 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Converts a clusterer into a list of predicate clauses. Functor is the functor for the generated predicate clauses.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | export_to_clauses(Dataset,Clusterer,Functor,Clauses) | Mode and number of proofs: | export_to_clauses(+object_identifier,+compound,+callable,-list(clause)) - one


.. index:: export_to_file/4 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::export_to_file/4:

export_to_file/4 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Exports a clusterer to a file. Functor is the functor for the generated Functor(Clusterer) predicate clause.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | export_to_file(Dataset,Clusterer,Functor,File) | Mode and number of proofs: | export_to_file(+object_identifier,+compound,+callable,+atom) - one


.. index:: print_clusterer/1 .. _clusterer_protocol/0::print_clusterer/1:

print_clusterer/1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Prints a clusterer to the current output stream in a human-readable format.

| Compilation flags: | static

| Template: | print_clusterer(Clusterer) | Mode and number of proofs: | print_clusterer(+compound) - one
