Class PropositionalToMultiInstance

java.lang.Object

weka.filters.Filter

weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.PropositionalToMultiInstance

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, UnsupervisedFilter

public class PropositionalToMultiInstance
extends Filter
implements OptionHandler, UnsupervisedFilter

Converts a propositional dataset into a multi-instance dataset (with relational attribute). When normalizing or standardizing a multi-instance dataset, the MultiInstanceToPropositional filter can be applied first to convert the multi-instance dataset into a propositional instance dataset. After normalization or standardization, we may use this PropositionalToMultiInstance filter to convert the data back to multi-instance format.

Note: the first attribute of the original propositional instance dataset must be a nominal attribute which is expected to be the bagId attribute.

Valid options are:

 -no-weights
  Do not weight bags by number of instances they contain. (default off)

 -S <num>
  The seed for the randomization of the order of bags. (default 1)

 -R
  Randomizes the order of the produced bags after the generation. (default off)

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(String[] options)
                throws Exception

Parses a given list of options.

Valid options are:

 -no-weights
  Do not weight bags by number of instances they contain. (default off)

 -S <num>
  The seed for the randomization of the order of bags. (default 1)

 -R
  Randomizes the order of the produced bags after the generation. (default off)

Specified by:

setOptions in interface OptionHandler

options - the list of options as an array of strings

Throws:

Exception - if an option is not supported

getOptions

public String[] getOptions()

Gets the current settings of the classifier.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface OptionHandler

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

seedTipText

public String seedTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

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

setSeed

public void setSeed(int value)

Sets the new seed for randomizing the order of the generated data

Parameters:

value - the new seed value

getSeed

public int getSeed()

Returns the current seed value for randomizing the order of the generated data

Returns:

the current seed value

randomizeTipText

public String randomizeTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

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

setRandomize

public void setRandomize(boolean value)

Sets whether the order of the generated data is randomized

Parameters:

value - whether to randomize or not

getRandomize

public boolean getRandomize()

Gets whether the order of the generated is randomized

getCapabilities

public Capabilities getCapabilities()

Returns the Capabilities of this filter.

setInputFormat

public boolean setInputFormat(Instances instanceInfo)
                       throws 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:

Exception - if the input format can't be set successfully
