Class IntervalEstimatorBased

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    CleanUpHandler, Destroyable, GlobalInfoSupporter, LoggingLevelHandler, LoggingSupporter, OptionHandler, SizeOfHandler, Serializable
    public class IntervalEstimatorBased
extends AbstractCrossvalidatedInstanceEvaluator<IntervalEstimatorBased.SortedInterval>
    Uses a classifier that produces confidence intervals. ???

    Valid options are: 

    -D <int> (property: debugLevel)
    The greater the number the more additional info the scheme may output to
    the console (0 = off).
    default: 0
    minimum: 0
 
    -threshold <double> (property: threshold)
    The threshold percentage to use (0-1).
    default: 0.75
 
    -folds <int> (property: folds)
    The number of folds to use for cross-validation; cross-validation gets turned
    off below a value of 2.
    default: 2
 
    -seed <int> (property: seed)
    The seed value for randomizing the data for cross-validation.
    default: 1
 
    -classifier <weka.classifiers.Classifier [options]> (property: classifier)
    The classifier to use (must implement weka.classifiers.IntervalEstimator
    ).
    default: weka.classifiers.functions.GaussianProcesses -L 1.0 -N 0 -K \"weka.classifiers.functions.supportVector.PolyKernel -C 250007 -E 1.0\"
 
    -level <double> (property: confidenceLevel)
    The confidence level to use when generating the confidence intervals (0-
    1).
    default: 0.95
 
    -relative (property: relativeWidths)
    If set to true, then the calculated widths will be relative ones, as they
    will get divided by the class value of the Instance.
