public class Resample

extends Filter

implements UnsupervisedFilter, OptionHandler

Produces a random subsample of a dataset. The original dataset must fit entirely in memory. The number of instances in the generated dataset may be specified. When used in batch mode, subsequent batches are not resampled. Valid options are:

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

-Z percent
Specify the size of the output dataset, as a percentage of the input dataset (default 100).

Constructor Detail

Resample

public Resample()

Method Detail

globalInfo

public java.lang.String globalInfo()

Returns a string describing this classifier

Returns:

a description of the classifier suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

listOptions

public java.util.Enumeration listOptions()

Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

Specified by:

listOptions in interface OptionHandler

Returns:

an enumeration of all the available options.

setOptions

public void setOptions(java.lang.String[] options)
                throws java.lang.Exception

Parses a list of options for this object. Valid options are:

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

-Z percent
Specify the size of the output dataset, as a percentage of the input dataset (default 100).

Specified by:

setOptions in interface OptionHandler

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 filter.

Specified by:

getOptions in interface OptionHandler

Returns:

an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

randomSeedTipText

public java.lang.String randomSeedTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

getRandomSeed

public int getRandomSeed()

Gets the random number seed.

Returns:

the random number seed.

setRandomSeed

public void setRandomSeed(int newSeed)

Sets the random number seed.

Parameters:

newSeed - the new random number seed.

sampleSizePercentTipText

public java.lang.String sampleSizePercentTipText()

Returns the tip text for this property

Returns:

tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

getSampleSizePercent

public double getSampleSizePercent()

Gets the subsample size as a percentage of the original set.

Returns:

the subsample size

setSampleSizePercent

public void setSampleSizePercent(double newSampleSizePercent)

Sets the size of the subsample, as a percentage of the original set.

Parameters:

newSampleSizePercent - the subsample set size, between 0 and 100.

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 input format can't be set successfully

input

public boolean input(Instance instance)

Input an instance for filtering. Filter requires all training 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 structure has been defined

batchFinished

public boolean batchFinished()

Signify that this batch of input to the filter is finished. If the filter requires all instances prior to filtering, output() may now be called to retrieve the filtered instances.

Overrides:

batchFinished in class Filter

Returns:

true if there are instances pending output

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if no input structure has been defined

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

Main method for testing this class.

Parameters:

argv - should contain arguments to the filter: use -h for help
