Synopsis
Locally weighted learning. Uses an instance-based algorithm to assign instance weights which are then used by a specified WeightedInstancesHandler.
Can do classification (e.g. using naive Bayes) or regression (e.g. using linear regression).

Options
The table below describes the options available for LWL.
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
KNN |
How many neighbours are used to determine the width of the weighting function (<= 0 means all neighbours). |
classifier |
The base classifier to be used. |
debug |
If set to true, classifier may output additional info to the console. |
nearestNeighbourSearchAlgorithm |
The nearest neighbour search algorithm to use (Default: LinearNN). |
weightingKernel |
Determines weighting function. [0 = Linear, 1 = Epnechnikov,2 = Tricube, 3 = Inverse, 4 = Gaussian and 5 = Constant. (default 0 = Linear)]. |
