Method Detail

getPurposeString

public String getPurposeString()

Description copied from interface: OptionHandler

Gets the purpose of this object

Specified by:

getPurposeString in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

getPurposeString in class AbstractClassifier

Returns:

the string with the purpose of this object

prepareForUseImpl

public void prepareForUseImpl(TaskMonitor monitor,
                     ObjectRepository repository)

Description copied from class: AbstractOptionHandler

This method describes the implementation of how to prepare this object for use. All classes that extends this class have to implement prepareForUseImpl and not prepareForUse since prepareForUse calls prepareForUseImpl.

Overrides:

prepareForUseImpl in class AbstractClassifier

Parameters:

monitor - the TaskMonitor to use

repository - the ObjectRepository to use

resetLearningImpl

public void resetLearningImpl()

Description copied from class: AbstractClassifier

Resets this classifier. It must be similar to starting a new classifier from scratch.

The reason for ...Impl methods: ease programmer burden by not requiring them to remember calls to super in overridden methods. Note that this will produce compiler errors if not overridden.

Specified by:

resetLearningImpl in class AbstractClassifier

trainOnInstanceImpl

public void trainOnInstanceImpl(weka.core.Instance inst)

Description copied from class: AbstractClassifier

Trains this classifier incrementally using the given instance.

The reason for ...Impl methods: ease programmer burden by not requiring them to remember calls to super in overridden methods. Note that this will produce compiler errors if not overridden.

Specified by:

trainOnInstanceImpl in class AbstractClassifier

Parameters:

inst - the instance to be used for training

getVotesForInstance

public double[] getVotesForInstance(weka.core.Instance inst)

Description copied from interface: Classifier

Predicts the class memberships for a given instance. If an instance is unclassified, the returned array elements must be all zero.

Parameters:

inst - the instance to be classified

Returns:

an array containing the estimated membership probabilities of the test instance in each class

getModelDescription

public void getModelDescription(StringBuilder out,
                       int indent)

Description copied from class: AbstractClassifier

Returns a string representation of the model.

Specified by:

getModelDescription in class AbstractClassifier

Parameters:

out - the stringbuilder to add the description

indent - the number of characters to indent

getModelMeasurementsImpl

protected Measurement[] getModelMeasurementsImpl()

Description copied from class: AbstractClassifier

Gets the current measurements of this classifier.

The reason for ...Impl methods: ease programmer burden by not requiring them to remember calls to super in overridden methods. Note that this will produce compiler errors if not overridden.

Specified by:

getModelMeasurementsImpl in class AbstractClassifier

Returns:

an array of measurements to be used in evaluation tasks

isRandomizable

public boolean isRandomizable()

Description copied from interface: Classifier

Gets whether this classifier needs a random seed. Examples of methods that needs a random seed are bagging and boosting.

Returns:

true if the classifier needs a random seed.

getSubClassifiers

public Classifier[] getSubClassifiers()

Description copied from interface: Classifier

Gets the classifiers of this ensemble. Returns null if this classifier is a single classifier.

Specified by:

getSubClassifiers in interface Classifier

Overrides:

getSubClassifiers in class AbstractClassifier

Returns:

an array of the classifiers of the ensemble

discardModel

public void discardModel(int index)

removePoorestModelBytes

protected int removePoorestModelBytes()
