weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute

Synopsis

Discretizes numeric attributes using equal frequency binning, where the number of bins is equal to the square root of the number of non-missing values.

Options

The table below describes the options available for PKIDiscretize.

Option	Description
attributeIndices	Specify range of attributes to act on. This is a comma separated list of attribute indices, with "first" and "last" valid values. Specify an inclusive range with "-". E.g: "first-3,5,6-10,last".
bins	Ignored.
desiredWeightOfInstancesPerInterval	Sets the desired weight of instances per interval for equal-frequency binning.
findNumBins	Ignored.
ignoreClass	The class index will be unset temporarily before the filter is applied.
invertSelection	Set attribute selection mode. If false, only selected (numeric) attributes in the range will be discretized; if true, only non-selected attributes will be discretized.
makeBinary	Make resulting attributes binary.
useEqualFrequency	Always true.
