Hi, When I read a sample file from hmm learn package, which is on top of scikit-learn package, I see there are many member functions (prefix with '_') have no caller. That is, I don't see anything uses those functions. Below is a sample part from class GMMHMM(_BaseHMM):
////////// def __init__(self, n_components=1, n_mix=1,........ params="stmcw", init_params="stmcw"): _BaseHMM.__init__(self, n_components,......... params=params, init_params=init_params) # XXX: Hotfit for n_mix that is incompatible with the scikit's # BaseEstimator API self.n_mix = n_mix self.covariance_type = covariance_type self.covars_prior = covars_prior self.gmms_ = [] for x in range(self.n_components): if covariance_type is None: gmm = GMM(n_mix) else: gmm = GMM(n_mix, covariance_type=covariance_type) self.gmms_.append(gmm) def _init(self, X, lengths=None): super(GMMHMM, self)._init(X, lengths=lengths) for g in self.gmms_: g.set_params(init_params=self.init_params, n_iter=0) g.fit(X) def _compute_log_likelihood(self, X): return np.array([g.score(X) for g in self.gmms_]).T def _generate_sample_from_state(self, state, random_state=None): return self.gmms_[state].sample(1, random_state=random_state).flatten() //////////// Some online tutorials tell me '_' prefix is a kind of convention of private members. hmm is not a formal package. Do these '_' member functions are unfinished? Or, they may be used in some way I don't know yet? Thanks, -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
