weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.AddCluster

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, UnsupervisedFilter

public class AddCluster
extends Filter
implements UnsupervisedFilter, OptionHandler

A filter that adds a new nominal attribute representing the cluster assigned to each instance by the specified clustering algorithm.

Valid options are:

 -W <clusterer specification>
  Full class name of clusterer to use, followed
  by scheme options. eg:
   "weka.clusterers.SimpleKMeans -N 3"
  (default: weka.clusterers.SimpleKMeans)

 -I <att1,att2-att4,...>
  The range of attributes the clusterer should ignore.

Method Detail

getCapabilities

public Capabilities getCapabilities(Instances data)

Returns the Capabilities of this filter, makes sure that the class is never set (for the clusterer).

Overrides:

getCapabilities in class Filter

Parameters:

data - the data to use for customization

Returns:

the capabilities of this object, based on the data

See Also:

getCapabilities()

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

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 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

  Full class name of clusterer to use, followed
  by scheme options. eg:
   "weka.clusterers.SimpleKMeans -N 3"
  (default: weka.clusterers.SimpleKMeans)

 -I <att1,att2-att4,...>
  The range of attributes the clusterer should ignore.
