)
virtual

Gini(Sample M) = 1 - (c(1)/N)^2 - (c(2)/N)^2 ....

  • (c(k)/N)^2 Where: M is a smaple of whatever N elements (events) that belong to K different classes c(k) is the number of elements that belong to class k for just Signal and Background classes this boils down to: Gini(Sample) = 2s*b/(s+b)^2 ( = 2 * purity * (1-purity) )

!! what we use here is 2*Gini.. as for the later use the factor 2 is irrelevant and hence I'd like to save this calculation

Implements TMVA::SeparationBase.
