Valid options are:

 -N <value>
  Set maximum number of instances in a leaf node
  (default: 40)

 -R
  Set internal nodes' radius to the sum 
  of the child balls radii. So that it 
 contains the child balls.

Constructor Detail

BottomUpConstructor

public BottomUpConstructor()

Creates a new instance of BottomUpConstructor.

Method Detail

globalInfo

public String globalInfo()

Returns a string describing this nearest neighbour search algorithm.

Returns:

a description of the algorithm for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

getTechnicalInformation

public TechnicalInformation getTechnicalInformation()

Returns an instance of a TechnicalInformation object, containing detailed information about the technical background of this class, e.g., paper reference or book this class is based on.

Specified by:

getTechnicalInformation in interface TechnicalInformationHandler

Returns:

the technical information about this class

buildTree

public BallNode buildTree()
                   throws Exception

Builds the ball tree bottom up.

Specified by:

buildTree in class BallTreeConstructor

Returns:

The root node of the tree.

Throws:

Exception - If there is problem building the tree.

addInstance

public int[] addInstance(BallNode node,
                         Instance inst)
                  throws Exception

Adds an instance to the ball tree.

Specified by:

addInstance in class BallTreeConstructor

Parameters:

node - The root node of the tree.

inst - The instance to add to the tree.

Returns:

The new master index array after adding the instance.

Throws:

Exception - Always as BottomUpConstructor does not allow addition of instances after batch construction.

calcPivot

public Instance calcPivot(weka.core.neighboursearch.balltrees.BottomUpConstructor.TempNode node1,
                          weka.core.neighboursearch.balltrees.BottomUpConstructor.TempNode node2,
                          Instances insts)
                   throws Exception

Calculates the centroid pivot of a node based on its two child nodes.

Parameters:

node1 - The first child node.

node2 - The second child node.

insts - The instance on which the tree is to be built.

Returns:

The centre/pivot of the node.

Throws:

Exception - If there is some problem calculating the centre/pivot of the node.

calcRadius

public double calcRadius(weka.core.neighboursearch.balltrees.BottomUpConstructor.TempNode n1,
                         weka.core.neighboursearch.balltrees.BottomUpConstructor.TempNode n2)

Parameters:

n1 - The first child node.

n2 - The second child node.

Returns:

The calculated radius of the the node.

Throws:

Exception - If there is some problem in calculating the radius.

getRevision

public String getRevision()

Returns the revision string.

Specified by:

getRevision in interface RevisionHandler

Overrides:

getRevision in class BallTreeConstructor

Returns:

the revision
