ParallelMultipleClassifiersCombiner

public ParallelMultipleClassifiersCombiner()

Method Detail

listOptions

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

Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

Specified by:

listOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

listOptions in class MultipleClassifiersCombiner

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. Valid options are:

-Z num
Set the number of execution slots to use (default 1 - i.e. no parallelism).

Options after -- are passed to the designated classifier.

Specified by:

setOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

setOptions in class MultipleClassifiersCombiner

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 classifier.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

getOptions in class MultipleClassifiersCombiner

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

setNumExecutionSlots

public void setNumExecutionSlots(int numSlots)

Set the number of execution slots (threads) to use for building the members of the ensemble.

Parameters:

numSlots - the number of slots to use.

getNumExecutionSlots

public int getNumExecutionSlots()

Get the number of execution slots (threads) to use for building the members of the ensemble.

Returns:

the number of slots to use

numExecutionSlotsTipText

public java.lang.String numExecutionSlotsTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

buildClassifier

public void buildClassifier(Instances data)
                     throws java.lang.Exception

Stump method for building the classifiers

Parameters:

data - the training data to be used for generating the ensemble

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if the classifier could not be built successfully
