Class RemoveWithLabels

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, weka.core.CapabilitiesHandler, weka.core.CapabilitiesIgnorer, weka.core.CommandlineRunnable, weka.core.OptionHandler, weka.core.RevisionHandler
    public class RemoveWithLabels
extends weka.filters.SimpleBatchFilter
    Allows the user to remove nominal labels via a regular expression.

    Valid options are: 

     -index <value>
  The index of the attribute to process; An index is a number starting with 1; apart from attribute names (case-sensitive), the following placeholders can be used as well: first, second, third, last_2, last_1, last; numeric indices can be enforced by preceding them with '#' (eg '#12'); attribute names can be surrounded by double quotes.
  (default: index=last, max=-1)
     -label-regexp <value>
  The regular expression for matching the labels to remove.
  (default: ^(label1|label2|label3)$)
     -invert
  If enabled, the matching sense is inverted, i.e., the matching labels are kept and all others removed.
     -update-header
  If enabled, the labels also get removed from the attribute definition.
     -output-debug-info
  If set, filter is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console
     -do-not-check-capabilities
  If set, filter capabilities are not checked before filter is built
  (use with caution).
