All Implemented Interfaces:

public class Trend
extends OperatorChain

Adds a trend line for a specified series attributes by regressing a dummy variable onto the series attribute. The trend line can have an arbitrary shape which is defined by the inner learner used in this operator. For a linear trend line add a linear regression learner as inner operator. For non-linear trend lines add e.g. an SVM learner with a polynomial kernel or a Radial Basis Function kernel.

Method Detail

apply

public IOObject[] apply()
                 throws OperatorException

Description copied from class: OperatorChain

Applies all inner operators. The input to this operator becomes the input of the first inner operator. The latter's output is passed to the second inner operator and so on. Note to subclassers: If subclasses (for example wrappers) want to make use of this method remember to call exactly this method (super.apply()) and do not call super.apply(IOContainer) erroneously which will result in an infinite loop.

Overrides:

apply in class OperatorChain

Returns:

the last inner operator's output or the input itself if the chain is empty.

Throws:

OperatorException

getInnerOperatorCondition

public InnerOperatorCondition getInnerOperatorCondition()

Description copied from class: OperatorChain

Must return a condition of the IO behaviour of all desired inner operators. If there are no "special" conditions and the chain works similar to a simple operator chain this method should at least return a SimpleChainInnerOperatorCondition. More than one condition should be combined with help of the class CombinedInnerOperatorCondition.

Specified by:

getInnerOperatorCondition in class OperatorChain

getMaxNumberOfInnerOperators

public int getMaxNumberOfInnerOperators()

Description copied from class: OperatorChain

Returns the maximum number of inner operators.

Specified by:

getMaxNumberOfInnerOperators in class OperatorChain

getMinNumberOfInnerOperators

public int getMinNumberOfInnerOperators()

Description copied from class: OperatorChain

Returns the minimum number of inner operators.

Specified by:

getMinNumberOfInnerOperators in class OperatorChain

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.

Specified by:

getOutputClasses in class Operator

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
