Class SpreadSheetToWekaInstances

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    adams.core.AdditionalInformationHandler, adams.core.CleanUpHandler, adams.core.Destroyable, adams.core.GlobalInfoSupporter, adams.core.logging.LoggingLevelHandler, adams.core.logging.LoggingSupporter, adams.core.option.OptionHandler, adams.core.QuickInfoSupporter, adams.core.ShallowCopySupporter<adams.data.conversion.AbstractConversion>, adams.core.SizeOfHandler, adams.core.Stoppable, adams.data.conversion.Conversion, Serializable
    public class SpreadSheetToWekaInstances
extends adams.data.conversion.AbstractConversion
    Generates a weka.core.Instances object from a SpreadSheet object.
    If there are too many unique lables for a NOMINAL attribute, it gets turned into a STRING attribute (see 'maxLabels' property). 

    -logging-level <OFF|SEVERE|WARNING|INFO|CONFIG|FINE|FINER|FINEST> (property: loggingLevel)
    The logging level for outputting errors and debugging output.
    default: WARNING
 
    -max-labels <int> (property: maxLabels)
    The maximum number of labels that a NOMINAL attribute can have before it 
    is switched to a STRING attribute; use -1 to enforce STRING attributes.
    default: 25
    minimum: -1
