Method Summary

Object	clone() Performs a deep copy of the classifier, and a reference copy of the training instances (or a deep copy if required).
void	done() Signal end of iterating, useful for any house-keeping/cleanup
void	initClassifier(Instances instances) Inits an iterative classifier.
void	next(int iteration) Performs one iteration.

Method Detail

initClassifier

void initClassifier(Instances instances)
                    throws Exception

Inits an iterative classifier.

Parameters:

instances - the instances to be used in induction

Throws:

Exception - if the model cannot be initialized

next

void next(int iteration)
          throws Exception

Performs one iteration.

Parameters:

iteration - the index of the current iteration (0-based)

Throws:

Exception - if this iteration fails

done

void done()
          throws Exception

Signal end of iterating, useful for any house-keeping/cleanup

Throws:

Exception - if cleanup fails

clone

Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Performs a deep copy of the classifier, and a reference copy of the training instances (or a deep copy if required).

Returns:

a clone of the classifier

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException
