Field Detail

m_Initialized

protected boolean m_Initialized

whether the evaluator got initialized.

Constructor Detail

AbstractInstanceEvaluator

public AbstractInstanceEvaluator()

Method Detail

reset

protected void reset()

Resets the scheme.

Overrides:

reset in class AbstractOptionHandler

setUp

protected String setUp()

Performs necessary initializations before being able to evaluate.

Default implementation only returns null.

Returns:

null if everything fine, error message otherwise

check

protected String check(weka.core.Instance inst)

Peforms checks on the instance that is about to be evaluated.

Default implementation only checks whether class value is non-missing.

Parameters:

inst - the instance to evaluate

Returns:

null if Instance can be evaluated, error message otherwise

doEvaluate

protected abstract double doEvaluate(weka.core.Instance inst)

Performs the actual evaluation.

Parameters:

inst - the instance to evaluate

Returns:

evaluation range, between 0 and 1 (0 = bad, 1 = good, -1 = if unable to evaluate)

evaluate

public double evaluate(weka.core.Instance inst)

Evaluates the given instance.

Parameters:

inst - the instance to evaluate

Returns:

evaluation range, between 0 and 1 (0 = bad, 1 = good, -1 = if unable to evaluate)

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)

Compares this object with the specified object for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Only compares the commandlines of the two objects.

Parameters:

o - the object to be compared.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the specified object's type prevents it from being compared to this object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Returns whether the two objects are the same.

Only compares the commandlines of the two objects.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - the object to be compared

Returns:

true if the object is the same as this one

shallowCopy

public AbstractInstanceEvaluator shallowCopy()

Returns a shallow copy of itself, i.e., based on the commandline options.

Returns:

the shallow copy

shallowCopy

public AbstractInstanceEvaluator shallowCopy(boolean expand)

Returns a shallow copy of itself, i.e., based on the commandline options.

Parameters:

expand - whether to expand variables to their current values

Returns:

the shallow copy

getEvaluators

public static String[] getEvaluators()

Returns a list with classnames of evaluators.

Returns:

the evaluator classnames

forName

public static AbstractInstanceEvaluator forName(String classname,
                                                String[] options)

Instantiates the evaluator with the given options.

Parameters:

classname - the classname of the evaluator to instantiate

options - the options for the evaluator

Returns:

the instantiated evaluator or null if an error occurred

forCommandLine

public static AbstractInstanceEvaluator forCommandLine(String cmdline)

Instantiates the evaluator from the given commandline (i.e., classname and optional options).

Parameters:

cmdline - the classname (and optional options) of the evaluator to instantiate

Returns:

the instantiated evaluator or null if an error occurred

cleanUp

public void cleanUp()

Cleans up data structures, frees up memory.

Default implementation does nothing.

Specified by:

cleanUp in interface CleanUpHandler

destroy

public void destroy()

Frees up memory in a "destructive" non-reversible way.

Calls cleanUp() and cleans up the options.

Specified by:

destroy in interface Destroyable

Overrides:

destroy in class AbstractOptionHandler
