public class NominalNumbers2Numerical
extends AbstractDataProcessing

This operator transforms nominal attributes into numerical ones. In contrast to the NominalToNumeric operator, this operator directly parses numbers from the wrongly as nominal values encoded values. Please note that this operator will first check the stored nominal mappings for all attributes. If (old) mappings are still stored which actually are nominal (without the corresponding data being part of the example set), the attribute will not be converted. Please use the operator GuessValueTypes in these cases.

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
