Constructor Detail

ResidualSplit

public ResidualSplit(int attIndex)

Creates a split object

Parameters:

attIndex - the index of the attribute to split on

Method Detail

buildClassifier

public void buildClassifier(Instances data,
                            double[][] dataZs,
                            double[][] dataWs)
                     throws Exception

Builds the split. Needs the Z/W values of LogitBoost for the set of instances.

Throws:

Exception

entropyGain

public double entropyGain()
                   throws Exception

Computes entropy gain for current split.

Throws:

Exception

checkModel

public boolean checkModel(int minNumInstances)

Checks if there are at least 2 subsets that contain >= minNumInstances.

leftSide

public final String leftSide(Instances data)

Returns name of splitting attribute (left side of condition).

Specified by:

leftSide in class ClassifierSplitModel

Parameters:

data - the data.

rightSide

public final String rightSide(int index,
                              Instances data)

Prints the condition satisfied by instances in a subset.

Specified by:

rightSide in class ClassifierSplitModel

whichSubset

public final int whichSubset(Instance instance)
                      throws Exception

Description copied from class: ClassifierSplitModel

Returns index of subset instance is assigned to. Returns -1 if instance is assigned to more than one subset.

Specified by:

whichSubset in class ClassifierSplitModel

Throws:

Exception - if something goes wrong

buildClassifier

Method not in use

Specified by:

weights in class ClassifierSplitModel

sourceExpression

public final String sourceExpression(int index,
                                     Instances data)

Method not in use

Specified by:

sourceExpression in class ClassifierSplitModel

getRevision

public String getRevision()

Returns the revision string.

Returns:

the revision
