Robin Anil commented on MAHOUT-605:
-----------------------------------
Sorry about the typos, was typing from my phone
CBayes is about finding the probability of belonging to the complement class.
The one with the least score will be most likely not belong to the complement
class.. and hence
> Array returned by classifier.bayes.algorithm.CBayesAlgorithm.classifyDocument
> is sorted ascendant

> Key: MAHOUT-605
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-605
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Classification
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Robin Swezey
> Assignee: Robin Anil
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: bayesian, classification
> Fix For: 0.5

> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> The array returned for a n-best call to classifyDocument is sorted ascendant
> instead of descendant.
> Ex:
> {quote}
> 47-best: [ClassifierResult\{category='香川県', score=32.28281232047167\},
> ClassifierResult\{category='宮崎県', score=32.28969992600906\}, ......,
> ClassifierResult\{category='愛知県', score=32.487981016587796\},
> ClassifierResult\{category='東京都', score=32.49189358054859\},
> ClassifierResult\{category='北海道', score=32.49811200756193\}]
> {quote}
> (classification of documents for Japanese prefectures)
> Inside the classifyDocument method, just before the return statement we found
> this line:
> {quote}
> Collections.reverse(result);
> {quote}
> Is this a mistake or a design choice? (we are not sure, hence the "Minor"
> priority)
