Hi - When adding a large number of counts to a Distribution via a trainer i have found it is much quicker to store the counts in and array (indexed by the AlphabetIndex for that alphabet). Increment the counts as each symbol comes in and then add the counts to the trainer at the end. (followed by the .train() method).
I'm curious as to why this is. I assume its cause the trainer checks the validity of each symbol, although technically so does the AlphabetIndex by looking up the index for the symbol. Not that this is a major issue it might just be a way to speed up distribution training Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark Schreiber Ph: 64 3 4797875 Rm 218 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Biochemistry University of Otago PO Box 56 Dunedin New Zealand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
