Package weka.filters.unsupervised.instance

Class WeightsBasedResample

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, weka.core.CapabilitiesHandler, weka.core.CapabilitiesIgnorer, weka.core.CommandlineRunnable, weka.core.OptionHandler, weka.core.Randomizable, weka.core.RevisionHandler, weka.filters.UnsupervisedFilter
    public class WeightsBasedResample
extends weka.filters.SimpleBatchFilter
implements weka.filters.UnsupervisedFilter, weka.core.Randomizable
    Normalizes all instance weights and drops the ones that fall below the specified threshold, but at most the specified percentage.
    Of the left over instances, the smallest weight, e.g., 0.2, represents one instance, which translates a weight of 1.0 to five instances. This factor can be limited to avoid an instance explosion if the smallest weight is very small.
    The overall, final dataset size can be limited as well.

    Valid options are: 

     -drop-below <0.0-1.0>
  The threshold for the (normalized) weight below which instances
  get dropped.
  default: 0.0
     -drop-at most <0.0-1.0>
  The maximum percentage of instances to drop (0-1).
  default: 1.0
     -max-factor <num>
  The maximum factor to allow for instances to be multiplied with.
  Disabled if <= 0.
  default: -1
     -size-limit <num>
  The size limit for the resulting dataset.
  Disabled if <= 0, percentage if 0<x<=10 (0-10,000%),
  >10 absolute number of instances.
  default: -1
     -seed <num>
  The seed value for randomizing the final dataset.
  default: 1
     -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).
