Parameters:

value - the training data to initialize with

getInstances

public Instances getInstances()

Returns the training data.

Returns:

the training data

setUp

public void setUp()

Performs checks, sets up the structure for the plot instances.

getPlotInstances

public Instances getPlotInstances()

Returns the generated plot instances.

Returns:

the instances to plot

getPlotData

public PlotData2D getPlotData(String name)
                       throws Exception
