The following node is available in the Open Source KNIME predictive analytics and data mining platform version 2.7.1. Discover over 1000 other nodes, as well as enterprise functionality at http://knime.com.

FilteredClassifier

Class for running an arbitrary classifier on data that has been passed through an arbitrary filter. Like the classifier, the structure of the filter is based exclusively on the training data and test instances will be processed by the filter without changing their structure.

(based on WEKA 3.6)

For further options, click the 'More' - button in the dialog.

All weka dialogs have a panel where you can specify classifier-specific parameters.

Class 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, String attributes, Relational attributes, Missing values, Nominal class, Binary class] Dependencies: [Nominal attributes, Binary attributes, Unary attributes, Empty nominal attributes, Numeric attributes, Date attributes, String attributes, Relational attributes, Missing values, No class, Nominal class, Binary class, Unary class, Empty nominal class, Numeric class, Date class, String class, Relational class, Missing class values, Only multi-Instance data] min # Instance: 0

Classifier Options

F: Full class name of filter to use, followed by filter options. eg: "weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.Remove -V -R 1,2"

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

W: Full name of base classifier. (default: weka.classifiers.trees.J48)

:

U: Use unpruned tree.

C: Set confidence threshold for pruning. (default 0.25)

M: Set minimum number of instances per leaf. (default 2)

R: Use reduced error pruning.

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

B: Use binary splits only.

S: Don't perform subtree raising.

L: Do not clean up after the tree has been built.

A: Laplace smoothing for predicted probabilities.

Q: Seed for random data shuffling (default 1).

Weka Node View
Each Weka node provides a summary view that provides information about the classification. If the test data contains a class column, an evaluation is generated.
