## weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute
Class AddCluster

    java.lang.Object
      weka.filters.Filter
          weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.AddCluster

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

    public class AddCluster

extends Filter
implements UnsupervisedFilter, OptionHandler

A filter that adds a new nominal attribute representing the cluster assigned to each instance by the specified clustering algorithm.

Valid filter-specific options are:

-W clusterer string
Full class name of clusterer to use, followed by scheme options. (required)

-I range string
The range of attributes the clusterer should ignore. Note: if a class index is set then the class is automatically ignored during clustering.

Constructor Detail

### AddCluster

    public AddCluster()

Method Detail

### setInputFormat

    public boolean setInputFormat(Instances instanceInfo)
                           throws java.lang.Exception

  Sets the format of the input instances.

  Overrides:
    `setInputFormat` in class `Filter`
  Parameters:
    `instanceInfo` - an Instances object containing the input instance structure (any instances contained in the object are ignored - only the structure is required).
  Returns:
    true if the outputFormat may be collected immediately
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if the inputFormat can't be set successfully

### batchFinished

    public boolean batchFinished()
                          throws java.lang.Exception

  Signify that this batch of input to the filter is finished.

  Overrides:
    `batchFinished` in class `Filter`
  Returns:
    true if there are instances pending output
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if no input structure has been defined
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if no input structure has been defined,
    `java.lang.Exception` - if there was a problem finishing the batch.

### input

    public boolean input(Instance instance)
                  throws java.lang.Exception

  Input an instance for filtering. Ordinarily the instance is processed and made available for output immediately. Some filters require all instances be read before producing output.

  Overrides:
    `input` in class `Filter`
  Parameters:
    `instance` - the input instance
  Returns:
    true if the filtered instance may now be collected with output().
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if no input format has been defined.
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the input format has not been defined.
    `java.lang.Exception` - if the input instance was not of the correct format or if there was a problem with the filtering.

### listOptions

    public java.util.Enumeration listOptions()

  Returns an enumeration describing the available options.

  Specified by:
    `listOptions` in interface `OptionHandler`
  Returns:
    an enumeration of all the available options.

### setOptions

    public void setOptions(java.lang.String[] options)
                    throws java.lang.Exception

  Parses the options for this object. Valid options are:

  -W clusterer string
  Full class name of clusterer to use, followed by scheme options. (required)

  -I range string
  The range of attributes the clusterer should ignore. Note: if a class index is set then the class is automatically ignored during clustering

  Specified by:
    `setOptions` in interface `OptionHandler`
  Parameters:
    `options` - the list of options as an array of strings
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if an option is not supported

### getOptions

    public java.lang.String[] getOptions()

  Gets the current settings of the filter.

  Specified by:
    `getOptions` in interface `OptionHandler`
  Returns:
    an array of strings suitable for passing to setOptions

### globalInfo

    public java.lang.String globalInfo()

  Returns a string describing this filter

  Returns:
    a description of the filter suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

### clustererTipText

    public java.lang.String clustererTipText()

  Returns the tip text for this property

  Returns:
    tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

### setClusterer

    public void setClusterer(Clusterer clusterer)

  Sets the clusterer to assign clusters with.

  Parameters:
    `clusterer` - The clusterer to be used (with its options set).

### getClusterer

    public Clusterer getClusterer()

  Gets the clusterer used by the filter.

  Returns:
    The clusterer being used.

### ignoredAttributeIndicesTipText

    public java.lang.String ignoredAttributeIndicesTipText()

  Returns the tip text for this property

  Returns:
    tip text for this property suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

### getIgnoredAttributeIndices

    public java.lang.String getIgnoredAttributeIndices()

  Gets ranges of attributes to be ignored.

  Returns:
    a string containing a comma-separated list of ranges

### setIgnoredAttributeIndices

    public void setIgnoredAttributeIndices(java.lang.String rangeList)

  Sets the ranges of attributes to be ignored. If provided string is null, no attributes will be ignored.

  Parameters:
    `rangeList` - a string representing the list of attributes. eg: first-3,5,6-last
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if an invalid range list is supplied

### main

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

  Main method for testing this class.

  Parameters:
    `argv` - should contain arguments to the filter: use -h for help
