## weka.classifiers.misc.monotone
Class AbsoluteLossFunction

    java.lang.Object
      weka.classifiers.misc.monotone.AbsoluteLossFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:
  NominalLossFunction, RevisionHandler

    public class AbsoluteLossFunction

extends java.lang.Object
implements NominalLossFunction, RevisionHandler

Class implementing the absolute loss function, this means the returned loss is the abolute value of the difference between the predicted and actual value.

This implementation is done as part of the master's thesis: "Studie en implementatie van instantie-gebaseerde algoritmen voor gesuperviseerd rangschikken", Stijn Lievens, Ghent University, 2004.
