Constructor Detail

MultipleClassifiersCombiner

public MultipleClassifiersCombiner()

Method Detail

listOptions

public Enumeration listOptions()

Returns an enumeration describing the available options

Specified by:

listOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

listOptions in class AbstractClassifier

Returns:

an enumeration of all the available options

setOptions

public void setOptions(String[] options)
                throws Exception

Parses a given list of options. Valid options are:

-B classifierstring
Classifierstring should contain the full class name of a scheme included for selection followed by options to the classifier (required, option should be used once for each classifier).

Specified by:

setOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

setOptions in class AbstractClassifier

Parameters:

options - the list of options as an array of strings

Throws:

Exception - if an option is not supported

getOptions

public String[] getOptions()

Gets the current settings of the Classifier.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

getOptions in class AbstractClassifier

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

classifiersTipText

public String classifiersTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

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

setClassifiers

public void setClassifiers(Classifier[] classifiers)

Sets the list of possible classifers to choose from.

Parameters:

classifiers - an array of classifiers with all options set.

getClassifiers

public Classifier[] getClassifiers()

Gets the list of possible classifers to choose from.

Returns:

the array of Classifiers

getClassifier

public Classifier getClassifier(int index)

Gets a single classifier from the set of available classifiers.

Parameters:

index - the index of the classifier wanted

Returns:

the Classifier

getCapabilities

public Capabilities getCapabilities()

Returns combined capabilities of the base classifiers, i.e., the capabilities all of them have in common.

Specified by:

getCapabilities in interface Classifier

Specified by:

getCapabilities in interface CapabilitiesHandler

Overrides:

getCapabilities in class AbstractClassifier

Returns:

the capabilities of the base classifiers
