setOptions in interface OptionHandler

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 filter.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface OptionHandler

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

getNorm

public double getNorm()

Get the instance's Norm.

Returns:

the Norm

setNorm

public void setNorm(double newNorm)

Set the norm of the instances

Parameters:

newNorm - the norm to wich the instances must be set

getLNorm

public double getLNorm()

Get the L Norm used.

Returns:

the L-norm used

setLNorm

public void setLNorm(double newLNorm)

Set the L-norm to used

Parameters:

setInputFormat

public boolean setInputFormat(Instances instanceInfo)
                       throws Exception

Sets the format of the input instances.

Overrides:

setInputFormat in class Filter

Parameters:

instanceInfo - an Instances object containing the input instance structure (any instances contained in the object are ignored - only the structure is required).

Returns:

true if the outputFormat may be collected immediately

Throws:

Exception - if format cannot be processed

input

public boolean input(Instance instance)
              throws Exception
