public class TimeSeriesDelta
extends TimeSeriesTranslate

An instance filter that assumes instances form time-series data and replaces attribute values in the current instance with the difference between the current value and the equivalent attribute attribute value of some previous (or future) instance. For instances where the time-shifted value is unknown either the instance may be dropped, or missing values used. Skips the class attribute if it is set.

Valid options are:

 -R <index1,index2-index4,...>
  Specify list of columns to translate in time. First and
  last are valid indexes. (default none)

 -V
  Invert matching sense (i.e. calculate for all non-specified columns)

 -I <num>
  The number of instances forward to translate values
  between. A negative number indicates taking values from
  a past instance. (default -1)

 -M
  For instances at the beginning or end of the dataset where
  the translated values are not known, remove those instances
  (default is to use missing values).

setInputFormat

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

Sets the format of the input instances.

Overrides:

setInputFormat in class TimeSeriesTranslate

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:

UnsupportedAttributeTypeException - if selected attributes are not numeric.

java.lang.Exception - if the format couldn't be set successfully

getRevision

public java.lang.String getRevision()

Returns the revision string.

Specified by:

getRevision in interface RevisionHandler

Overrides:

getRevision in class TimeSeriesTranslate

Returns:

the revision

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

Main method for testing this class.

Parameters:

argv - should contain arguments to the filter: use -h for help
