Constructor Detail

AbstractColumnFinderApplier

public AbstractColumnFinderApplier()

Method Detail

listOptions

public Enumeration listOptions()

Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

Specified by:

listOptions in interface weka.core.OptionHandler

Overrides:

listOptions in class weka.filters.SimpleFilter

Returns:

an enumeration of all the available options.

setOptions

public void setOptions(String[] options)
                throws Exception

Parses the options for this object.

Specified by:

setOptions in interface weka.core.OptionHandler

Overrides:

setOptions in class weka.filters.SimpleFilter

Parameters:

options - the options to use

Throws:

Exception

getOptions

public String[] getOptions()

Gets the current settings of the classifier.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface weka.core.OptionHandler

Overrides:

getOptions in class weka.filters.SimpleFilter

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

getCapabilities

public weka.core.Capabilities getCapabilities()

Returns the Capabilities of this filter.

Specified by:

getCapabilities in interface weka.core.CapabilitiesHandler

Overrides:

getCapabilities in class weka.filters.Filter

Returns:

the capabilities of this object

Capabilities

setColumnFinder

public void setColumnFinder(ColumnFinder value)

Sets the column finder to use.

Parameters:

value - The column finder to be used (with its options set).

getColumnFinder

public ColumnFinder getColumnFinder()

Returns the column finder used by the filter.

Returns:

The column finder to be used.

columnFinderTipText

public abstract String columnFinderTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property.

Returns:

tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

setInvert

public void setInvert(boolean value)

Set whether the invert the column indices.

Parameters:

value - true if to invert the indices

getInvert

public boolean getInvert()

Returns whether the invert the column indices.

Returns:

true if the indices get inverted

invertTipText

public String invertTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property.

Returns:

tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

determineOutputFormat

protected abstract weka.core.Instances determineOutputFormat(weka.core.Instances inputFormat)
                                                      throws Exception

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().

Specified by:

determineOutputFormat in class weka.filters.SimpleFilter

Parameters:

inputFormat - the input format to base the output format on

Returns:

the output format

Throws:

Exception

apply

protected abstract weka.core.Instances apply(weka.core.Instances data,
                                             int[] indices)

Applies the indices to the data. In case inverting is enabled, the indices have already been inverted.

Parameters:

data - the data to process

indices - the indices to use

Returns:

the processed data

process

protected weka.core.Instances process(weka.core.Instances instances)
                               throws Exception

Processes the given data (may change the provided dataset) and returns the modified version. This method is called in batchFinished().

Specified by:

process in class weka.filters.SimpleFilter

Parameters:

instances - the data to process

Returns:

the modified data

Throws:

Exception
