# mvpa2.measures.irelief.IterativeReliefOnline_Devel

class `mvpa2.measures.irelief.``IterativeReliefOnline_Devel`(a=5.0, permute=True, max_iter=3, **kwargs)

  `FeaturewiseMeasure` that performs multivariate I-RELIEF algorithm. Online version.

  UNDER DEVELOPMENT

  Online version with complexity O(T*N*I), where N is the number of instances and I the number of features.

  See: Y. Sun, Iterative RELIEF for Feature Weighting: Algorithms, Theories, and Applications, IEEE Trans. on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI), vol. 29, no. 6, pp. 1035-1051, June 2007. http://plaza.ufl.edu/sunyijun/Paper/PAMI_1.pdf

  Note that this implementation is not fully online, since hit and miss dictionaries (H,M) are computed once at the beginning using full access to all labels. This can be easily corrected to a full online implementation. But this is not mandatory now since the major goal of this current online implementation is reduction of computational complexity.

  Notes

  Available conditional attributes:

  - `calling_time+`: Time (in seconds) it took to call the node
  - `null_prob+`: None
  - `null_t`: None
  - `raw_results`: Computed results before invoking postproc. Stored only if postproc is not None.
  - `training_time+`: Time (in seconds) it took to train the learner

  (Conditional attributes enabled by default suffixed with `+`)

  Methods

  `compute_M_H`(label) | Compute hit/miss dictionaries.
  `generate`(ds) | Yield processing results.
  `get_postproc`() | Returns the post-processing node or None.
  `get_space`() | Query the processing space name of this node.
  `reset`() |
  `set_postproc`(node) | Assigns a post-processing node Set to `None` to disable postprocessing.
  `set_space`(name) | Set the processing space name of this node.
  `train`(ds) | The default implementation calls `_pretrain()`, `_train()`, and finally `_posttrain()`.
  `untrain`() | Reverts changes in the state of this node caused by previous training

  Constructor of the IRELIEF class.

  Parameters:

  enable_ca : None or list of str

  > Names of the conditional attributes which should be enabled in addition to the default ones

  disable_ca : None or list of str

  > Names of the conditional attributes which should be disabled

  null_dist : instance of distribution estimator

  > The estimated distribution is used to assign a probability for a certain value of the computed measure.

  auto_train : bool

  > Flag whether the learner will automatically train itself on the input dataset when called untrained.

  force_train : bool

  > Flag whether the learner will enforce training on the input dataset upon every call.

  space: str, optional :

  > Name of the ‘processing space’. The actual meaning of this argument heavily depends on the sub-class implementation. In general, this is a trigger that tells the node to compute and store information about the input data that is “interesting” in the context of the corresponding processing in the output dataset.

  postproc : Node instance, optional

  > Node to perform post-processing of results. This node is applied in `__call__()` to perform a final processing step on the to be result dataset. If None, nothing is done.

  descr : str

  > Description of the instance

  Methods

  `get_postproc`() | Returns the post-processing node or None.
  `get_space`() | Query the processing space name of this node.
  `reset`() |
  `set_postproc`(node) | Assigns a post-processing node Set to `None` to disable postprocessing.
  `set_space`(name) | Set the processing space name of this node.
  `train`(ds) | The default implementation calls `_pretrain()`, `_train()`, and finally `_posttrain()`.
  `untrain`() | Reverts changes in the state of this node caused by previous training

  `is_trained` = True

    Indicate that this measure doesn’t have to be trained
