Method Detail

apply

public IOObject[] apply()
                 throws OperatorException

Applies the operator and labels the ExampleSet. The example set in the input is not consumed.

Specified by:

apply in class Operator

Throws:

OperatorException

getInputDescription

public InputDescription getInputDescription(java.lang.Class cls)

Indicates that the consumption of Models can be user defined.

Overrides:

getInputDescription 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.

Specified by:

getInputClasses in class Operator

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 objects which should not be consumed must also be defined by this method (e.g. an example set which is changed but not consumed in the case of a preprocessing operator must be defined in both, the methods Operator.getInputClasses() and Operator.getOutputClasses()). 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 (defined by changing the implementation in Operator.getInputDescription(Class)) must not be defined as additional output in this method.

May deliver null or an empy array (no additional output is produced or guaranteed). Must return the class array of delivered output objects otherwise.

getOutputClasses in class Operator
