Method Detail

globalInfo

public String globalInfo()

Returns a string describing this object

Returns:

a description of the classifier suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

buildStructure

public void buildStructure(BayesNet bayesNet,
                           Instances instances)
                    throws Exception

Description copied from class: SearchAlgorithm

buildStructure determines the network structure/graph of the network. The default behavior is creating a network where all nodes have the first node as its parent (i.e., a BayesNet that behaves like a naive Bayes classifier). This method can be overridden by derived classes to restrict the class of network structures that are acceptable.

Overrides:

buildStructure in class SearchAlgorithm

Parameters:

bayesNet -

instances - the instances to work with

Throws:

Exception - if something goes wrong

getRevision

public String getRevision()

Returns the revision string.

Specified by:

getRevision in interface RevisionHandler

Overrides:

getRevision in class SearchAlgorithm

Returns:

the revision
