## weka.filters.supervised.instance
Class SpreadSubsample

    java.lang.Object
      weka.filters.Filter
          weka.filters.supervised.instance.SpreadSubsample

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, OptionHandler, SupervisedFilter

    public class SpreadSubsample

extends Filter
implements SupervisedFilter, OptionHandler

Produces a random subsample of a dataset. The original dataset must fit entirely in memory. This filter allows you to specify the maximum "spread" between the rarest and most common class. For example, you may specify that there be at most a 2:1 difference in class frequencies. When used in batch mode, subsequent batches are not resampled. Valid options are:

-S num
Specify the random number seed (default 1).

-M num
The maximum class distribution spread.
0 = no maximum spread, 1 = uniform distribution, 10 = allow at most a 10:1 ratio between the classes (default 0)

-X num
The maximum count for any class value.
(default 0 = unlimited)

-W
Adjust weights so that total weight per class is maintained. Individual instance weighting is not preserved. (default no weights adjustment)
