Interface Condition

All Known Implementing Classes:

AcceptAllCondition, AttributeValueFilter, BayBoostStream.BatchFilterCondition, CorrectPredictionCondition, MissingAttributesCondition, MissingLabelsCondition, NoMissingAttributesCondition, NoMissingLabelsCondition, WrongPredictionCondition

public interface Condition

Objects implementing this interface are used by ConditionExampleReaders, a special sub class of ExampleReader that skips all examples that do not fulfill this condition. In order for the ConditionExampleReader.createCondition(String, ExampleSet, String) factory method to be able to create instances of an implementation of Condition, it must implement a two argument constructor taking an ExampleSet and a parameter String. The meaning of the parameter string is dependent on the implementation and may even be ignored, although it would be nice to print a warning.
