SingleClassifierEnhancer

public SingleClassifierEnhancer()

Method Detail

listOptions

public Enumeration<Option> 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:

-W classname
Specify the full class name of the base learner.

Options after -- are passed to the designated 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

classifierTipText

public String classifierTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

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

getCapabilities

public Capabilities getCapabilities()

Returns default capabilities of the base classifier.

Specified by:

getCapabilities in interface CapabilitiesHandler

Specified by:

getCapabilities in interface Classifier

Overrides:

getCapabilities in class AbstractClassifier

Returns:

the capabilities of the base classifier

See Also:

Capabilities

setClassifier

public void setClassifier(Classifier newClassifier)

Set the base learner.

Parameters:

newClassifier - the classifier to use.

getClassifier

public Classifier getClassifier()

Get the classifier used as the base learner.

Returns:

the classifier used as the classifier

preExecution

public void preExecution()
                  throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractClassifier

Perform any setup stuff that might need to happen before commandline execution. Subclasses should override if they need to do something here

Specified by:

preExecution in interface CommandlineRunnable

Overrides:

preExecution in class AbstractClassifier

Throws:

Exception - if a problem occurs during setup

postExecution

public void postExecution()
                   throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractClassifier

Perform any teardown stuff that might need to happen after execution. Subclasses should override if they need to do something here

Specified by:

postExecution in interface CommandlineRunnable

Overrides:

postExecution in class AbstractClassifier

Throws:

Exception - if a problem occurs during teardown
