public class ForwardWeighting
extends FeatureWeighting

This operator performs the weighting under the naive assumption that the features are independent from each other. Each attribute is weighted with a linear search. This approach may deliver good results after short time if the features indeed are not highly correlated.

Method Detail

getWeightingOperator

public PopulationOperator getWeightingOperator(java.lang.String parameter)

Specified by:

getWeightingOperator in class FeatureWeighting

createInitialPopulation

public Population createInitialPopulation(ExampleSet es)

Description copied from class: FeatureOperator

Create an initial population. The example set will be cloned before the method is invoked. This method is invoked after the pre- and postevaluation population operators were collected.
