Method Detail

getRanges

public abstract double[][] getRanges(ExampleSet exampleSet)
                              throws OperatorException

Delivers the maximum range thresholds for all attributes, i.e. the value getRanges()[a][b] is the b-th threshold for the a-th attribute.

Throws:

OperatorException

apply

public IOObject[] apply()
                 throws OperatorException

Description copied from class: Operator

Implement this method in subclasses.

Specified by:

apply in class Operator

Throws:

OperatorException

getOutputClasses

public java.lang.Class[] getOutputClasses()

Description copied from class: Operator

Returns the classes that are guaranteed to be returned by apply() as additional output. Please note that input object which should not be consumed must also be defined by this method (e.g. for preprocessing operators). The default behavior for input consumation is defined by Operator.getInputDescription(Class) and can be changed by overwriting this method. Objects which are not consumed must not be defined as additional output in this method. May be null or an empy array (no additional output is produced).

Specified by:

getOutputClasses in class Operator

getInputClasses

public java.lang.Class[] getInputClasses()

Description copied from class: Operator

Returns the classes that are needed as input. May be null or an empty (no desired input). As default, all delivered input objects are consumed and must be also delivered as output in both Operator.getOutputClasses() and Operator.apply() if this is necessary. This default behavior can be changed by overriding Operator.getInputDescription(Class). Subclasses which implement this method should not make use of parameters since this method is invoked by getParameterTypes(). Therefore, parameters are not fully available at this point of time and this might lead to exceptions. Please use InputDescriptions instead.
