All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, CapabilitiesIgnorer, CommandlineRunnable, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler, SupervisedFilter

public class PartitionMembership
extends Filter
implements SupervisedFilter, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler

* A filter that uses a PartitionGenerator to generate partition membership values; filtered instances are composed of these values plus the class attribute (if set in the input data) and rendered as sparse instances. See Section 3 of
* Eibe Frank, Bernhard Pfahringer: Propositionalisation of Multi-instance Data Using Random Forests. In: AI 2013: Advances in Artificial Intelligence, 362-373, 2013. *

* Valid options are:

* *

 -W <name of partition generator>
 *  Full name of partition generator to use, e.g.:
 *   weka.classifiers.trees.J48
 *  Additional options after the '--'.
 *  (default: weka.classifiers.trees.J48)

* Options after the -- are passed on to the clusterer.

Method Detail

getCapabilities

public Capabilities getCapabilities()

Returns the Capabilities of this filter.

Specified by:

getCapabilities in interface CapabilitiesHandler

Overrides:

getCapabilities in class Filter

Returns:

the capabilities of this object

Capabilities

setInputFormat

public boolean setInputFormat(Instances instanceInfo)
                       throws java.lang.Exception

Sets the format of the input instances.

Overrides:

setInputFormat in class Filter

Parameters:

instanceInfo - an Instances object containing the input instance structure (any instances contained in the object are ignored - only the structure is required).

Returns:

true if the outputFormat may be collected immediately

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the inputFormat can't be set successfully

batchFinished

public boolean batchFinished()
                      throws java.lang.Exception

Signify that this batch of input to the filter is finished.

Overrides:

batchFinished in class Filter

Returns:

true if there are instances pending output

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if no input structure has been defined

java.lang.NullPointerException - if no input structure has been defined,

java.lang.Exception - if there was a problem finishing the batch.

input

public boolean input(Instance instance)
              throws java.lang.Exception

Input an instance for filtering. Ordinarily the instance is processed and made available for output immediately. Some filters require all instances be read before producing output.

Overrides:

input in class Filter

Parameters:

instance - the input instance

Returns:

true if the filtered instance may now be collected with output().

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if no input format has been defined.

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the input format has not been defined.

java.lang.Exception - if the input instance was not of the correct format or if there was a problem with the filtering.

listOptions

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

Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

Specified by:

listOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

listOptions in class Filter

Returns:

an enumeration of all the available options.

setOptions

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

 *  Full name of partition generator to use, e.g.:
 *   weka.classifiers.trees.J48
 *  Additional options after the '--'.
 *  (default: weka.classifiers.trees.J48)

* Options after the -- are passed on to the clusterer.
