        toolTipText="Weka associator wrapper",
        iconPath="")
public class Associator
extends WekaAlgorithmWrapper

Step that wraps a Weka associator. Handles dataSet, trainingSet and testSet incoming connections. All connections are treated the same - i.e. are used as training data.

Method Detail

getWrappedAlgorithmClass

public java.lang.Class getWrappedAlgorithmClass()

Get the class of the algorithm being wrapped

Specified by:

getWrappedAlgorithmClass in class WekaAlgorithmWrapper

Returns:

the class of the wrapped algorithm

setWrappedAlgorithm

public void setWrappedAlgorithm(java.lang.Object algo)

Set the wrapped algorithm

Overrides:

setWrappedAlgorithm in class WekaAlgorithmWrapper

Parameters:

algo - the wrapped algorithm

setAssociator

@ProgrammaticProperty
public void setAssociator(Associator associator)

Set the associator to use. Is a convenience method - just calls setWrappedAlgorithm()

Parameters:

associator - the associator to use

getAssociator

public Associator getAssociator()

Get the associator to use. Is a convenience method - just calls getWrappedAlgorithm()

Returns:

the associator in use

stepInit

public void stepInit()
              throws WekaException

Initializes the step

Throws:

WekaException - if a problem occurs

processIncoming

public void processIncoming(Data data)
                     throws WekaException

Processes incoming data

Specified by:

processIncoming in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

processIncoming in interface Step

Overrides:

processIncoming in class BaseStep

Parameters:

data - the data to process

Throws:

WekaException - if a problem occurs

getIncomingConnectionTypes

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getIncomingConnectionTypes()

Get a list of incoming connection types that this step can accept at this time

Returns:

a list of incoming connections that this step can accept

getOutgoingConnectionTypes

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getOutgoingConnectionTypes()

Get a list of outgoing connections that this step can produce at this time

Returns:

a list of outgoing connection types

outputStructureForConnectionType

public Instances outputStructureForConnectionType(java.lang.String connectionName)
                                           throws WekaException

If possible, get the output structure for the named connection type as a header-only set of instances. Can return null if the specified connection type is not representable as Instances or cannot be determined at present.

Specified by:

outputStructureForConnectionType in interface Step

Overrides:

outputStructureForConnectionType in class BaseStep

Parameters:

connectionName - the connection type to generate output structure for

Returns:

the output structure this step generates, or null if it can't be determined at this point in time

Throws:

WekaException - if a problem occurs
