%READDATAFILE Read one of the datafiles % % [B,NEXT,J] = READDATAFILE(A,N) % % INPUT % A Datafile % N Number of the file to be read % % OUTPUT % B Dataset stored in file N % NEXT Number of next file to be read, 0 if done % J Indices of objects in A % % DESCRIPTION % A datafile points to a dataset stored in a series of files. This % routine reads one of them, but is designed to read them all in a loop. % A typical example is shown below, computing the overall mean per class. % If the preprocessing field of A is set, the listed preprocessing is % applied before returning. % If the mappings field of A is set, the listed mappings are applied % to B before returning. % % As the objects in A may be randomly distributed over the files, a % reordering is performed internally in this routine. Consequently, % objects may be returned in a different order than stored in A. % % [m,k,c] = getsize(a); % nobjects = classsizes(a); % u = zeros(c,k); % next = 1; % while next > 0 % [b,next] = readdatafile(a,next) % u = u + meancov(b) .* repmat(nobjects',1,k); % if next <= 0, break; end % end % u = u ./ repmat(classsizes(a)',1,k); % % SEE ALSO (PRTools Guide) % PRDATASET, DATAFILE
