      • getCapabilities

        public weka.core.Capabilities getCapabilities()
        Returns the Capabilities of this filter. Derived filters have to override this method to enable capabilities.

        Determines the output format based on the input format and returns this. In case the output format cannot be returned immediately, i.e., hasImmediateOutputFormat() returns false, then this method will called from batchFinished() after the call of preprocess(Instances), in which, e.g., statistics for the actual processing step can be gathered.
        Specified by:
        determineOutputFormat in class weka.filters.SimpleStreamFilter
        Parameters:
        inputFormat - the input format to base the output format on
        Returns:
        the output format
        Throws:
        Exception - in case the determination goes wrong
