public abstract class AlgorithmCompareTree
extends AlgorithmCompare

Base class for algorithms that perform a direct comparison between own (dataset) dataset and a set of input datasets. Note that own dataset is static and not changed or realised through a learning phase. It would typically be added as part of the initialisation process, or along with a group of input datasets to compare with each other.
