Class WeightedInstancesHandlerWrapper

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Classifier, BatchPredictor, CapabilitiesHandler, CapabilitiesIgnorer, CommandlineRunnable, OptionHandler, Randomizable, RevisionHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler
    public class WeightedInstancesHandlerWrapper
extends RandomizableSingleClassifierEnhancer
implements WeightedInstancesHandler
    Generic wrapper around any classifier to enable weighted instances support.
    Uses resampling with weights if the base classifier is not implementing the weka.core.WeightedInstancesHandler interface and there are instance weights other 1.0 present. By default, the training data is passed through to the base classifier if it can handle instance weights. However, it is possible to force the use of resampling with weights as well.

    Valid options are: 

     -force-resample-with-weights
  Forces resampling of weights, regardless of whether
  base classifier handles instance weights
     -S <num>
  Random number seed.
  (default 1)
     -W
  Full name of base classifier.
  (default: weka.classifiers.rules.ZeroR)
     -output-debug-info
  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console
     -do-not-check-capabilities
  If set, classifier capabilities are not checked before classifier is built
  (use with caution).
     -num-decimal-places
  The number of decimal places for the output of numbers in the model (default 2).
     
 Options specific to classifier weka.classifiers.rules.ZeroR:
 
     -output-debug-info
  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console
     -do-not-check-capabilities
  If set, classifier capabilities are not checked before classifier is built
  (use with caution).
     -num-decimal-places
  The number of decimal places for the output of numbers in the model (default 2).
