public class CostSensitiveAttributeEval
extends CostSensitiveASEvaluation
implements Serializable, AttributeEvaluator, OptionHandler
A meta subset evaluator that makes its base subset evaluator cost-sensitive.
Valid options are:
-C <cost file name> File name of a cost matrix to use. If this is not supplied, a cost matrix will be loaded on demand. The name of the on-demand file is the relation name of the training data plus ".cost", and the path to the on-demand file is specified with the -N option.
-N <directory> Name of a directory to search for cost files when loading costs on demand (default current directory).
-cost-matrix <matrix> The cost matrix in Matlab single line format.
-S <integer> The seed to use for random number generation.
-W Full name of base evaluator. (default: weka.attributeSelection.ReliefFAttributeEval)
Options specific to evaluator weka.attributeSelection.ReliefFAttributeEval:
-M <num instances> Specify the number of instances to sample when estimating attributes. If not specified, then all instances will be used.
-D <seed> Seed for randomly sampling instances. (Default = 1)
-K <number of neighbours> Number of nearest neighbours (k) used to estimate attribute relevances (Default = 10).
-W Weight nearest neighbours by distance
-A <num> Specify sigma value (used in an exp function to control how quickly weights for more distant instances decrease. Use in conjunction with -W. Sensible value=1/5 to 1/10 of the number of nearest neighbours. (Default = 2)
