Algorithm Input

The low order moments algorithm accepts the input described below. Pass the Input ID as a parameter to the methods that provide input for your algorithm. For more details, see Algorithms.

Input ID

Input

data

Pointer to the numeric table of size n x p to compute moments for. While the input for defaultDense, singlePassDense, or sumDense method can be an object of any class derived from NumericTable, the input for fastCSR, singlePassCSR, or sumCSR method can only be an object of the CSRNumericTable class.

Algorithm Parameters

The low order moments algorithm has the following parameters:

Parameter

Default Value

Description

algorithmFPType

double

The floating-point type that the algorithm uses for intermediate computations. Can be float or double.

method

defaultDense

Available methods for computation of low order moments:

  • defaultDense - default performance-oriented method

  • singlePassDense - implementation of the single-pass algorithm proposed by D.H.D. West

  • sumDense - implementation of the algorithm in the cases where the basic statistics associated with the numeric table are pre-computed sums; returns an error if pre-computed sums are not defined

  • fastCSR - performance-oriented method for CSR numeric tables

  • singlePassCSR - implementation of the single-pass algorithm proposed by D.H.D. West; optimized for CSR numeric tables

  • sumCSR - implementation of the algorithm in the cases where the basic statistics associated with the numeric table are pre-computed sums; optimized for CSR numeric tables; returns an error if pre-computed sums are not defined

Algorithm Output

The low order moments algorithm calculates the results described in the following table. Pass the Result ID as a parameter to the methods that access the results of your algorithm. For more details, see Algorithms.

Each result is a pointer to the 1 x p numeric table that contains characteristics for each feature in the data set. By default, the tables are objects of the HomogenNumericTable class, but you can define each table as an object of any class derived from NumericTable except PackedSymmetricMatrix, PackedTriangularMatrix, and CSRNumericTable.

Optimization Notice

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
