[google大赛 赛前模拟题] MSQErr


摘要:计算合适的癌症样本化验的闸值


Problem Statement
????
A cancer screening protocol is given data about a cell and gives the cell a score. The protocol also specifies a threshold value. The protocol classifies cells with scores less than the threshold as non-cancerous, and cells with scores greater than or equal to the threshold as cancerous.
The effectiveness of a protocol is calculated by applying it to data about known cells from a test bank. The “squared_error” for a cell is 0 if the protocol successfully classifies it. If a cell is misclassified, its squared_error is calculated as the square of the difference between the threshold and the cell’s score. The “mean_squared_error” for the protocol is the average of the squared_errors from all the cells.
We want to choose a threshold that will minimize the mean_squared_error for our protocol. Create a class MSQErr that contains a method minErr that is given a int[] scores giving the scores calculated by the protocol for the test cells, and a string cancerous that indicates for each test cell whether it is cancerous (‘C’) or non-cancerous (‘N’). The method chooses an optimal threshold and returns the resulting minimum mean_squared_error.
The i-th character of cancerous corresponds to the i-th element of scores.
Definition
????
Class:
MSQErr
Method:
minErr
Parameters:
int[], string
Returns:
double
Method signature:
double minErr(int[] score, string cancerous)
(be sure your method is public)
????


Notes
-
The returned value must be accurate to within a relative or absolute value of 1E-9
Constraints
-
cancerous will contain between 2 and 50 characters inclusive.
-
The number of elements in scores will equal the number of characters in cancerous.
-
Each character in cancerous will be ‘N’ or ‘C’.
-
Each value in scores will be between -1,000 and 1,000 inclusive.
Examples
0)


????
{3,3,1,8}
“NNNC”
Returns: 0.0
By choosing a threshold of 5, this protocol classifies all of the test cells correctly.
1)


????
{5,2,3,6}
“CCNC”
Returns: 0.125
By choosing the threshold at 2.5, the cells with scores of 2 and 3 will both be misclassified. This will result in a mean_squared_error of (0 + (2.5-2)^2 + (3-2.5)^2 + 0)/4 = 0.125. This is the only threshold that will give such a low mean_squared_error.
2)


????
{5,2,3,6,2}
“CCNCN”
Returns: 0.1
The same threshold is best, but now the sum of the squared errors is divided by 5 instead of 4.
3)


????
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20}
“NNNCNNNCNNNCNCCCCCCC”
Returns: 2.34
