RBFNetwork

Class that implements a normalized Gaussian radial basisbasis function network. It uses the k-means clustering algorithm to provide the basis functions and learns either a logistic regression (discrete class problems) or linear regression (numeric class problems) on top of that. Symmetric multivariate Gaussians are fit to the data from each cluster. If the class is nominal it uses the given number of clusters per class.It standardizes all numeric attributes to zero mean and unit variance.

(based on WEKA 3.6)

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.

Classifier Options

B: Set the number of clusters (basis functions) to generate. (default = 2).

S: Set the random seed to be used by K-means. (default = 1).

R: Set the ridge value for the logistic or linear regression.

M: Set the maximum number of iterations for the logistic regression. (default -1, until convergence).

W: Set the minimum standard deviation for the clusters. (default 0.1).

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.
