About DSL_em::SetEquivalentSampleSize(int eqSampleSize)

[alamy]

Hi,

I'm curious what's the meaning of the equivalent sample size used in DSL_em::SetEquivalentSampleSize(...)?

Is it the equivalent sample size for the new training data? Or is it the equivalent sample size for the prior network parameters?

Is the equivalent sample size here synonymous to the "confidence" value used in the EM learning in GeNIe ?

Thanks.

Yes, the 'Confidence' value from GeNIe is used in a call toDSL_em::SetEquivalentSampleSize method before EM starts.
