Class Randomize
java.lang.Object
weka.filters.Filter
weka.filters.unsupervised.instance.Randomize
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,CapabilitiesHandler
,OptionHandler
,RevisionHandler
,UnsupervisedFilter
Randomly shuffles the order of instances passed through it. The random number generator is reset with the seed value whenever a new set of instances is passed in.
Valid options are:
-S <num> Specify the random number seed (default 42)

Method Details
-
globalInfo
Returns a string describing this classifier- Returns:
- a description of the classifier suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui
-
listOptions
Returns an enumeration describing the available options.- Specified by:
listOptions
in interfaceOptionHandler
- Returns:
- an enumeration of all the available options.
-
setOptions
Parses a given list of options. Valid options are:-S <num> Specify the random number seed (default 42)
- Specified by:
setOptions
in interfaceOptionHandler
- Parameters:
options
- the list of options as an array of strings- Throws:
Exception
- if an option is not supported
-
getOptions
Gets the current settings of the filter.- Specified by:
getOptions
in interfaceOptionHandler
- Returns:
- an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions
-
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()Get the random number generator seed value.- Returns:
- random number generator seed value.
-
setRandomSeed
public void setRandomSeed(int newRandomSeed) Set the random number generator seed value.- Parameters:
newRandomSeed
- value to use as the random number generator seed.
-
getCapabilities
Returns the Capabilities of this filter.- Specified by:
getCapabilities
in interfaceCapabilitiesHandler
- Overrides:
getCapabilities
in classFilter
- Returns:
- the capabilities of this object
- See Also:
-
setInputFormat
Sets the format of the input instances.- Overrides:
setInputFormat
in classFilter
- 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:
Exception
- if format cannot be processed
-
input
Input an instance for filtering. Filter requires all training instances be read before producing output.- Overrides:
input
in classFilter
- Parameters:
instance
- the input instance- Returns:
- true if the filtered instance may now be collected with output().
- Throws:
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. Any subsequent instances filtered should be filtered based on setting obtained from the first batch (unless the setInputFormat has been re-assigned or new options have been set). This implementation randomizes all the instances received in the batch.- Overrides:
batchFinished
in classFilter
- Returns:
- true if there are instances pending output
- Throws:
IllegalStateException
- if no input format has been set.
-
getRevision
Returns the revision string.- Specified by:
getRevision
in interfaceRevisionHandler
- Overrides:
getRevision
in classFilter
- Returns:
- the revision
-
main
Main method for testing this class.- Parameters:
argv
- should contain arguments to the filter: use -h for help
