Class MultiInstanceToPropositional

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.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).
