## Class ComparablePredicate

- java.lang.Object
- - opennlp.tools.ml.model.ComparablePredicate

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<ComparablePredicate>

      public class ComparablePredicate
      extends Object
      implements Comparable<ComparablePredicate>

  A maxent predicate representation which we can use to sort based on the outcomes. This allows us to make the mapping of features to their parameters much more compact.
