public interface ICategoricalVector : IVector, 
	IGrouping

Public Interface ICategoricalVector
	Inherits IVector, IGrouping

public interface class ICategoricalVector : IVector, 
	IGrouping

type ICategoricalVector =  
    interface
        interface IVector
        interface IGrouping
    end

The ICategoricalVector type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	CategoryIndex	Gets the index containing the categories.
	Count	Gets the number of groups. (Inherited from IGrouping.)
	ElementType	Gets the element type of the vector. (Inherited from IVector.)
	Encoding	Gets or sets the encoding used when creating indicator variables.
	FormatString	Gets a format string used when formatting elements of the vector. (Inherited from IVector.)
	Index	Gets the index of the object. (Inherited from IVector.)

	AggregateIntoT, U(VectorT, VectorT, Aggregator2T, U, VectorU)	Aggregates the specified vector over each group and returns the result. (Inherited from IGrouping.)
	Append	Appends a vector at the end of this vector and returns the result. (Inherited from IVector.)
	AppendMissingValues	Appends the specified number of missing values to this vector and returns the result. (Inherited from IVector.)
	AsU	Returns the object as a strongly typed vector of the specified type. (Inherited from IVector.)
	AsCategorical	Converts the vector to a categorical vector. (Inherited from IVector.)
	GetCounts	Returns a histogram of the number of observations in each group. (Inherited from IGrouping.)
	GetIndexes	Gets a sequence of indexes for the grouping. (Inherited from IGrouping.)
	GetSlice	Returns a new object that contains the values at the specified positions. (Inherited from IVector.)
	GetValue	Gets the value at the specified index. (Inherited from IVector.)
	GetValues	Returns a new object that contains the values at the specified positions. (Inherited from IVector.)
	IsMissing	Indicates whether the value at the specified index is missing. (Inherited from IVector.)
	Protect	Returns a shallow read-only copy of the vector. (Inherited from IVector.)
	ReplaceMissingValues	Replaces all missing values in a vector with the previous or next non-missing value. (Inherited from IVector.)
	Sort	Returns a permutation that can be used to sort the data in the vector in the specified order. (Inherited from IVector.)
	WithCategoriesT	Constructs a new categorical vector using the specified category index.
