  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, AbstainingClassifier, weka.classifiers.Classifier, ThreadSafeClassifier, weka.core.BatchPredictor, weka.core.CapabilitiesHandler, weka.core.CapabilitiesIgnorer, weka.core.CommandlineRunnable, weka.core.OptionHandler, weka.core.RevisionHandler
    public class ThreadSafeClassifierWrapper
extends weka.classifiers.SingleClassifierEnhancer
implements AbstainingClassifier, ThreadSafeClassifier
    Wraps an abstaining classifier and allows turning on/of abstaining.

    Valid options are: 

     -W
  Full name of base classifier.
  (default: weka.classifiers.rules.ZeroR)
     -output-debug-info
  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console
     -do-not-check-capabilities
  If set, classifier capabilities are not checked before classifier is built
  (use with caution).
     
 Options specific to classifier weka.classifiers.rules.ZeroR:
 
     -output-debug-info
  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console
     -do-not-check-capabilities
  If set, classifier capabilities are not checked before classifier is built
  (use with caution).
