Package weka.filters

Class FlowFilter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, weka.core.CapabilitiesHandler, weka.core.CapabilitiesIgnorer, weka.core.CommandlineRunnable, weka.core.OptionHandler, weka.core.RevisionHandler
    public class FlowFilter
extends weka.filters.SimpleBatchFilter
    Processes the data with a flow. The flow's outer control actor must be a adams.flow.control.SubProcess actor, which takes weka.core.Instances as input and generates weka.core.Instances again.

    Valid options are: 

     -D
  Turns on output of debugging information.
     -flow-file <file>
  The flow to use for processing the data.
  (default: .)

        Determines the output format based on the input format and returns this. In case the output format cannot be returned immediately, i.e., immediateOutputFormat() returns false, then this method will be called from batchFinished().

        Simply returns the input format. The process() method determines the actual format as the format is not known apriori.
        Specified by:
        determineOutputFormat in class weka.filters.SimpleFilter
        Parameters:
        inputFormat - the input format to base the output format on
