Serializable, Cloneable, Classifier, AdditionalMeasureProducer, CapabilitiesHandler, Drawable, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler

public class AttributeSelectedClassifier

Dimensionality of training and test data is reduced by attribute selection before being passed on to a classifier.

Valid options are:

 -E <attribute evaluator specification>
  Full class name of attribute evaluator, followed
  by its options.
  eg: "weka.attributeSelection.CfsSubsetEval -L"
  (default weka.attributeSelection.CfsSubsetEval)

 -S <search method specification>
  Full class name of search method, followed
  by its options.
  eg: "weka.attributeSelection.BestFirst -D 1"
  (default weka.attributeSelection.BestFirst)

 -D
  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console

 -W
  Full name of base classifier.
  (default: weka.classifiers.trees.J48)

 
 Options specific to classifier weka.classifiers.trees.J48:
 

 -U
  Use unpruned tree.

 -C <pruning confidence>
  Set confidence threshold for pruning.
  (default 0.25)

 -M <minimum number of instances>
  Set minimum number of instances per leaf.
  (default 2)

 -R
  Use reduced error pruning.

 -N <number of folds>
  Set number of folds for reduced error
  pruning. One fold is used as pruning set.
  (default 3)

 -B
  Use binary splits only.

 -S
  Don't perform subtree raising.

 -L
  Do not clean up after the tree has been built.

 -A
  Laplace smoothing for predicted probabilities.

 -Q <seed>
  Seed for random data shuffling (default 1).
