Class EquiDistance

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, weka.core.CapabilitiesHandler, weka.core.CapabilitiesIgnorer, weka.core.CommandlineRunnable, weka.core.OptionHandler, weka.core.RevisionHandler
    public class EquiDistance
extends weka.filters.SimpleBatchFilter
    A filter for interpolating the numeric attributes.Using the same number of points as are currently present in the input will have no effect.

    Valid options are: 

     -num-points <value>
  The number of points to generate, '-1' will use the same amount of points as currently in the input data.
  (default: -1)
     -att-sel <value>
  Determines how the attributes are selected.
  (default: RANGE)
     -range <value>
  The range of attributes to use, if RANGE selected.
  (default: range=first-last, max=-1, inv=false)
     -regexp <value>
  The regular expression for identifying the attributes via their name, if REGEXP selected.
  (default: .*)
     -prefix <value>
  The prefix to use for the new attributes; 1-based index gets appended.
  (default: att-)
     -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).
