public class AddCluster
extends Filter
implements UnsupervisedFilter, OptionHandler

A filter that adds a new nominal attribute representing the cluster assigned to each instance by the specified clustering algorithm.

Valid options are:

 -W <clusterer specification>
  Full class name of clusterer to use, followed
  by scheme options. eg:
   "weka.clusterers.SimpleKMeans -N 3"
  (default: weka.clusterers.SimpleKMeans)
 -I <att1,att2-att4,...>
  The range of attributes the clusterer should ignore.

AddCluster

public AddCluster()
Method Detail

getCapabilities

public Capabilities getCapabilities(Instances data)
Returns the Capabilities of this filter, makes sure that the class is never set (for the clusterer).

Overrides:
getCapabilities in class Filter
Parameters:
data - the data to use for customization
Returns:
the capabilities of this object, based on the data
See Also:
getCapabilities()

getCapabilities

public Capabilities getCapabilities()
Returns the Capabilities of this filter.

Specified by:
getCapabilities in interface CapabilitiesHandler
Overrides:
getCapabilities in class Filter
Returns:
the capabilities of this object
See Also:
Capabilities

setInputFormat

public boolean setInputFormat(Instances instanceInfo)
                       throws java.lang.Exception
Sets the format of the input instances.

Overrides:
setInputFormat in class Filter
Parameters:
instanceInfo - an Instances object containing the input instance structure (any instances contained in the object are ignored - only the structure is required).
Returns:
true if the outputFormat may be collected immediately
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if the inputFormat can't be set successfully

batchFinished

public boolean batchFinished()
                      throws java.lang.Exception
Signify that this batch of input to the filter is finished.

Overrides:
batchFinished in class Filter
Returns:
true if there are instances pending output
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if no input structure has been defined
java.lang.NullPointerException - if no input structure has been defined,
java.lang.Exception - if there was a problem finishing the batch.

input

public boolean input(Instance instance)
              throws java.lang.Exception
Input an instance for filtering. Ordinarily the instance is processed and made available for output immediately. Some filters require all instances be read before producing output.

Overrides:
input in class Filter
Parameters:
instance - the input instance
Returns:
true if the filtered instance may now be collected with output().
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if no input format has been defined.
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the input format has not been defined.
java.lang.Exception - if the input instance was not of the correct format or if there was a problem with the filtering.
