Constructor Detail

KDTreeNodeSplitter

public KDTreeNodeSplitter()

default constructor.

KDTreeNodeSplitter

public KDTreeNodeSplitter(int[] instList,
                          Instances insts,
                          EuclideanDistance e)

Creates a new instance of KDTreeNodeSplitter.

Parameters:

instList - Reference of the master index array.

insts - The set of training instances on which the tree is built.

e - The EuclideanDistance object that is used in tree contruction.

Method Detail

listOptions

public java.util.Enumeration<Option> listOptions()

Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

Specified by:

listOptions in interface OptionHandler

Returns:

an enumeration of all the available options.

setOptions

public void setOptions(java.lang.String[] options)
                throws java.lang.Exception

Parses a given list of options.

Specified by:

setOptions in interface OptionHandler

Parameters:

options - the list of options as an array of strings

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if an option is not supported

getOptions

public java.lang.String[] getOptions()

Gets the current settings of the object.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface OptionHandler

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

splitNode

public abstract void splitNode(KDTreeNode node,
                               int numNodesCreated,
                               double[][] nodeRanges,
                               double[][] universe)
                        throws java.lang.Exception

Splits a node into two. After splitting two new nodes are created and correctly initialised. And, node.left and node.right are set appropriately.

Parameters:

node - The node to split.

numNodesCreated - The number of nodes that so far have been created for the tree, so that the newly created nodes are assigned correct/meaningful node numbers/ids.

nodeRanges - The attributes' range for the points inside the node that is to be split.

universe - The attributes' range for the whole point-space.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - If there is some problem in splitting the given node.

setInstances

public void setInstances(Instances inst)

Sets the training instances on which the tree is (or is to be) built.

Parameters:

inst - The training instances.

setInstanceList

public void setInstanceList(int[] instList)

Sets the master index array containing indices of the training instances. This array will be rearranged as the tree is built, so that each node is assigned a portion in this array which contain the instances insides the node's region.

Parameters:

instList - The master index array.

setEuclideanDistanceFunction

public void setEuclideanDistanceFunction(EuclideanDistance func)

Sets the EuclideanDistance object to use for splitting nodes.

Parameters:

func - The EuclideanDistance object.

setNodeWidthNormalization

public void setNodeWidthNormalization(boolean normalize)

Sets whether if a nodes region is normalized or not. If set to true then, when selecting the widest attribute/dimension for splitting, the width of each attribute/dimension, of the points inside the node's region, is divided by the width of that attribute/dimension for the whole point-space. Thus, each attribute/dimension of that node is normalized.

Parameters:

normalize - Should be true if normalization is required.

getRevision

public java.lang.String getRevision()

Returns the revision string.

Specified by:

getRevision in interface RevisionHandler

Returns:

the revision
