Discussion

• Statistics
  • Jim suggests to add a cross-sample
• Agree to
  • Sample derive from DataObject
  • SampleAlgorithmBase derive from ProcessObject
• Generators
  • Only the ones that do not need inputs
  • That comes down to the random number generators
• Deprecation Strategy
  • Keep the old classes, delegating to the new classes?
    • Better for maintenance.
  • Keep the old classes around, with a CMake configuration option?
    • Brings the complication of requiring duplicate dashboard to ensure that both versions of the code still work.
  • ListSampleBase
    • Candidate for deprecation
    • Search algorithm
  • Distances
    • Have them as plug in objects or as Functor
  • KdTree
    • Maybe not to derive from DataObject ?
    • Maybe should derive from Sample ?
    • Identify Use cases before deciding.
    • Allow other distance (non-Euclidean) to be used.
  • Classifiers
    • Do not quite fit in a pipeline style...
    • We need to study Use Cases.
    • Some in Statistics / Some in Algorithms (for Images).
