Candidates is a Perl5 module for manipulating candidate features (help module for Statistics::MaxEntropy).

SYNOPSIS

use Statistics::Candidates;

# create a new candidates object and read candidate features
$candidates = Statistics::Candidates->new($some_file);

# checks for constant candidate features
$candidates->check();

# writes candidates that were not added to a file
$candidates->write($some_other_file);

# clear the administration about being added or not ...
$candidates->clear();

The Candidates object is for storage, retrieval, and manipulation of candidate features.

The reason for separating this code from Maxentropy.pm is that a set of candidate features should be considered a separate object. Blessing them into MaxEntropy would be unnatural.

Also this code is simpler and more stable than that in the MaxEntropy module.
This module requires Bit::SparseVector.
