ExplicitTestsetResultProducer (weka-stable 3.8.4 API)

java.lang.Object
- weka.experiment.ExplicitTestsetResultProducer

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, AdditionalMeasureProducer, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, ResultProducer

public class ExplicitTestsetResultProducer
extends Object
implements ResultProducer, OptionHandler, AdditionalMeasureProducer, RevisionHandler

Loads the external test set and calls the appropriate SplitEvaluator to generate some results.
The filename of the test set is constructed as follows:
<dir> + / + <prefix> + <relation-name> + <suffix>
The relation-name can be modified by using the regular expression to replace the matching sub-string with a specified replacement string. In order to get rid of the string that the Weka filters add to the end of the relation name, just use '.*-weka' as the regular expression to find.
The suffix determines the type of file to load, i.e., one is not restricted to ARFF files. As long as Weka recognizes the extension specified in the suffix, the data will be loaded with one of Weka's converters.

Valid options are:

 -D
 Save raw split evaluator output.

 -O <file/directory name/path>
  The filename where raw output will be stored.
  If a directory name is specified then then individual
  outputs will be gzipped, otherwise all output will be
  zipped to the named file. Use in conjuction with -D.
  (default: splitEvalutorOut.zip)

 -W <class name>
  The full class name of a SplitEvaluator.
  eg: weka.experiment.ClassifierSplitEvaluator

 -R
  Set when data is to be randomized.

 -dir <directory>
  The directory containing the test sets.
  (default: current directory)

 -prefix <string>
  An optional prefix for the test sets (before the relation name).
 (default: empty string)

 -suffix <string>
  The suffix to append to the test set.
  (default: _test.arff)

 -find <regular expression>
  The regular expression to search the relation name with.
  Not used if an empty string.
  (default: empty string)

 -replace <string>
  The replacement string for the all the matches of '-find'.
  (default: empty string)

 Options specific to split evaluator weka.experiment.ClassifierSplitEvaluator:

 -W <class name>
  The full class name of the classifier.
  eg: weka.classifiers.bayes.NaiveBayes

 -C <index>
  The index of the class for which IR statistics
  are to be output. (default 1)

 -I <index>
  The index of an attribute to output in the
  results. This attribute should identify an
  instance in order to know which instances are
  in the test set of a cross validation. if 0
  no output (default 0).

 -P
  Add target and prediction columns to the result
  for each fold.

 Options specific to classifier weka.classifiers.rules.ZeroR:

 -D
  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console

All options after -- will be passed to the split evaluator.
