Constructor Detail

ParallelIteratedSingleClassifierEnhancer

public ParallelIteratedSingleClassifierEnhancer()
Method Detail

listOptions

public java.util.Enumeration listOptions()
Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

Specified by:
listOptions in interface OptionHandler
Overrides:
listOptions in class IteratedSingleClassifierEnhancer
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 IteratedSingleClassifierEnhancer
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 IteratedSingleClassifierEnhancer
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

Specified by:
buildClassifier in interface Classifier
Overrides:
buildClassifier in class IteratedSingleClassifierEnhancer
Parameters:
data - the training data to be used for generating the ensemble
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if the classifier could not be built successfully
