Class MultiInstanceToPropositional

java.lang.Object
weka.filters.Filter
weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.MultiInstanceToPropositional
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, MultiInstanceCapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, UnsupervisedFilter

public class MultiInstanceToPropositional extends Filter implements OptionHandler, UnsupervisedFilter, MultiInstanceCapabilitiesHandler
Converts the multi-instance dataset into single instance dataset so that the Nominalize, Standardize and other type of filters or transformation can be applied to these data for the further preprocessing.
Note: the first attribute of the converted dataset is a nominal attribute and refers to the bagId.

Valid options are:

 -A <num>
  The type of weight setting for each prop. instance:
  0.weight = original single bag weight /Total number of
  prop. instance in the corresponding bag;
  1.weight = 1.0;
  2.weight = 1.0/Total number of prop. instance in the 
   corresponding bag; 
  3. weight = Total number of prop. instance / (Total number 
   of bags * Total number of prop. instance in the 
   corresponding bag). 
  (default:0)
