public class RandomSelection
extends AbstractFeatureSelection

This operator selects a randomly chosen number of features randomly from the input example set. This can be useful in combination with a ParameterIteration operator or can be used as a baseline for significance test comparisons for feature selection techniques.

Method Detail

apply

public ExampleSet apply(ExampleSet exampleSet)
                 throws OperatorException

Description copied from class: AbstractExampleSetProcessing

Delegate for the apply method. In most cases, the returned example set will be the same as the example set or a modified clone.

Specified by:

apply in class AbstractExampleSetProcessing

Throws:

OperatorException

getParameterTypes

public java.util.List<ParameterType> getParameterTypes()

Description copied from class: Operator

Returns a list of ParameterTypes describing the parameters of this operator. The default implementation returns an empty list if no input objects can be retained and special parameters for those input objects which can be prevented from being consumed.

Specified by:

getParameterTypes in interface ParameterHandler

Overrides:

getParameterTypes in class Operator
