ConjunctiveRule (3.7)

This class implements a single conjunctive rule learner* that can predict for numeric and nominal class labels. A rule consists of antecedents "AND"ed together and the consequent (class value) for the classification/regression

In this case, the consequent is the distribution of the available classes (or mean for a numeric value) in the dataset.If the test instance is not covered by this rule, then it's predicted using the default class distributions/value of the data not covered by the rule in the training data.This learner selects an antecedent by computing the Information Gain of each antecendent and prunes the generated rule using Reduced Error Prunning (REP) or simple pre-pruning based on the number of antecedents.

For classification, the Information of one antecedent is the weighted average of the entropies of both the data covered and not covered by the rule.

For regression, the Information is the weighted average of the mean-squared errors of both the data covered and not covered by the rule.

In pruning, weighted average of the accuracy rates on the pruning data is used for classification while the weighted average of the mean-squared errors on the pruning data is used for regression.

Options

ConjunctiveRule Options

D: If set, classifier is run in debug mode and may output additional info to the console

N: Set number of folds for REP One fold is used as pruning set. (default 3)

R: Set if NOT uses randomization (default:use randomization)

E: Set whether consider the exclusive expressions for nominal attributes (default false)

M: Set the minimal weights of instances within a split. (default 2.0)

P: Set number of antecedents for pre-pruning if -1, then REP is used (default -1)

S: Set the seed of randomization (default 1)

Select target column

Choose the column that contains the target variable.

Preliminary Attribute Check

The Preliminary Attribute Check tests the underlying classifier against the DataTable specification at the inport of the node. Columns that are compatible with the classifier are marked with a green 'ok'. Columns which are potentially not compatible are assigned a red error message.

Important: If a column is marked as 'incompatible', it does not necessarily mean that the classifier cannot be executed! Sometimes, the error message 'Cannot handle String class' simply means that no nominal values are available (yet). This may change during execution of the predecessor nodes.

Capabilities: [Nominal attributes, Binary attributes, Unary attributes, Empty nominal attributes, Numeric attributes, Date attributes, Missing values, Nominal class, Binary class, Numeric class, Date class, Missing class values] Dependencies: [] min # Instance: 1

Command line options

It shows the command line options according to the current classifier configuration and mainly serves to support the node's configuration via flow variables.

Additional Options

Select optional vector column: If the input table contains vector columns (e.g. double vector), the one to use can be selected here. This vector column will be used as attributes only and all other columns, except the target column, will be ignored.
Keep training instances: If checked, all training instances will be kept and stored with the classifier model. It is useful to calculate additional evaluation measures (see Weka Predictor) that make use of class prior probabilities. If no evaluation is performed or those measures are not required, it is advisable to NOT keep the training instances.
