Constructor Detail

RandomizableMultipleClassifiersCombiner

public RandomizableMultipleClassifiersCombiner()

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 MultipleClassifiersCombiner

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:

-B classifierstring
Classifierstring should contain the full class name of a scheme included for selection followed by options to the classifier (required, option should be used once for each classifier).

-S num
Set the random number seed (default 1).

Specified by:

setOptions in interface OptionHandler

Overrides:

setOptions in class MultipleClassifiersCombiner

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 MultipleClassifiersCombiner

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

seedTipText

public java.lang.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 seed)

Set the seed for random number generation.

Specified by:

setSeed in interface Randomizable

Parameters:

seed - the seed

getSeed

public int getSeed()

Gets the seed for the random number generations

Specified by:

getSeed in interface Randomizable

Returns:

the seed for the random number generation
