Syntax

[SerializableAttribute]
public class GeneralDiscreteOptions : IFittingOptions, 
	ICloneable

<SerializableAttribute>
Public Class GeneralDiscreteOptions
	Implements IFittingOptions, ICloneable

The GeneralDiscreteOptions type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	GeneralDiscreteOptions	Initializes a new instance of the GeneralDiscreteOptions class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Minimum	Gets or sets the minimum allowed probability in the frequency tables specifying the discrete distribution. Default is 1e-10.
	Regularization	Gets or sets how much percent of the previous value for the distribution should be kept in its updated value. Default is 0.
	UseLaplaceRule	Gets ors sets whether to use Laplace's rule of succession to avoid zero probabilities. Default is false.
	UsePreviousValuesAsPriors	Gets or sets whether current frequency values in the distribution should be considered as priors during the next time the distribution is estimated. Default is false.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Clone	Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	HasMethod	Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	IsEqual	Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices. (Defined by Matrix.)
	To(Type)	Overloaded. Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
	ToT	Overloaded. Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime. (Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
