Class DensityBasedClustererSplitEvaluator

java.lang.Object

weka.experiment.DensityBasedClustererSplitEvaluator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, AdditionalMeasureProducer, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, SplitEvaluator

public class DensityBasedClustererSplitEvaluator
extends Object
implements SplitEvaluator, OptionHandler, AdditionalMeasureProducer, RevisionHandler

A SplitEvaluator that produces results for a density based clusterer.

Valid options are:

 -no-size
  Skips the determination of sizes (train/test/clusterer)
  (default: sizes are determined)

 -W <class name>
  The full class name of the density based clusterer.
  eg: weka.clusterers.EM

 
 Options specific to clusterer weka.clusterers.EM:
 

 -N <num>
  number of clusters. If omitted or -1 specified, then 
  cross validation is used to select the number of clusters.

 -I <num>
  max iterations.
 (default 100)

 -V
  verbose.

 -M <num>
  minimum allowable standard deviation for normal density
  computation
  (default 1e-6)

 -O
  Display model in old format (good when there are many clusters)
 

 -S <num>
  Random number seed.
  (default 100)

All options after -- will be passed to the clusterer.
