## Detailed Description

This namespace contains all classes and methods related to extracting information during learning of the random forest. All Visitors share the same interface defined in visitors::VisitorBase. The member methods are invoked at certain points of the main code in the order they were supplied.

For the Random Forest the Visitor concept is implemented as a statically linked list (Using templates). Each Visitor object is encapsulated in a detail::VisitorNode object. The VisitorNode object calls the Next Visitor after one of its visit() methods have terminated.

To simplify usage create_visitor() factory methods are supplied. Use the create_visitor() method to supply visitor objects to the RandomForest::learn() method. It is possible to supply more than one visitor. They will then be invoked in serial order.

The calculated information are stored as public data members of the class. - see documentation of the individual visitors

While creating a new visitor the new class should therefore publicly inherit from this class (i.e.: see visitors::OOB_Error).

          typedef xxx feature_t \\ replace xxx with whichever type
          typedef yyy label_t   \\ meme chose.
          MultiArrayView<2, feature_t> f = get_some_features();
          MultiArrayView<2, label_t>   l = get_some_labels();
          RandomForest<> rf()

          //calculate OOB Error
          visitors::OOB_Error oob_v;
          //calculate Variable Importance
          visitors::VariableImportanceVisitor varimp_v;

          double oob_error = rf.learn(f, l, visitors::create_visitor(oob_v, varimp_v);
          //the data can be found in the attributes of oob_v and varimp_v now
