      weka.experiment.ClassifierSplitEvaluator

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, AdditionalMeasureProducer, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, SplitEvaluator

Direct Known Subclasses:
  CostSensitiveClassifierSplitEvaluator

    public class ClassifierSplitEvaluator

extends java.lang.Object
implements SplitEvaluator, OptionHandler, AdditionalMeasureProducer, RevisionHandler

A SplitEvaluator that produces results for a classification scheme on a nominal class attribute.

Valid options are:

     -W <class name>
      The full class name of the classifier.
      eg: weka.classifiers.bayes.NaiveBayes

     -C <index>
      The index of the class for which IR statistics
      are to be output. (default 1)

     -I <index>
      The index of an attribute to output in the
      results. This attribute should identify an
      instance in order to know which instances are
      in the test set of a cross validation. if 0
      no output (default 0).

     -P
      Add target and prediction columns to the result
      for each fold.

     Options specific to classifier weka.classifiers.rules.ZeroR:

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

All options after -- will be passed to the classifier.
