Constructor Detail

BinaryNumericalGenerator

public BinaryNumericalGenerator()

Method Detail

calculateValue

public abstract double calculateValue(double value1,
                                      double value2)

isCommutative

public abstract boolean isCommutative()

Must return true if this generator is commutative.

isSelfApplicable

public abstract boolean isSelfApplicable()

Must return true if this generator is self applicable.

getInputAttributes

public Attribute[] getInputAttributes()

Description copied from class: FeatureGenerator

Returns an array of Attributes where the length is the arity of the generator, [i] is the attribute type of the i-th argument.

Specified by:

getInputAttributes in class FeatureGenerator

getOutputAttributes

public Attribute[] getOutputAttributes(ExampleTable input)

Description copied from class: FeatureGenerator

Returns the generated attributes types.

Specified by:

getOutputAttributes in class FeatureGenerator

getInputCandidates

public java.util.List<Attribute[]> getInputCandidates(ExampleSet exampleSet,
                                                      int maxDepth,
                                                      java.lang.String[] functions)

Returns all compatible input attribute arrays for this generator from the given example set as list.

Specified by:

getInputCandidates in class FeatureGenerator

generate

public void generate(DataRow data)
              throws GenerationException

Description copied from class: FeatureGenerator

Generates the new attribute values for the example e and returns the new attribute values as doubles. e.getAttribute(getArgument(i)) is the correct way to access argument i. If the according attribute's type is VALUE_SERIES, the end index can be determined by i_end = getExampleTable().getBlockEndIndex(getArgument(i)). Thus all values of the series can be accessed using indices i through i_end.

Specified by:

generate in class FeatureGenerator

Throws:

GenerationException

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:
