All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, Randomizable, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler

    public class StackingC

extends Stacking
implements OptionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler

Implements StackingC (more efficient version of stacking).
For more information, see

Valid options are:

     -M <scheme specification>
      Full name of meta classifier, followed by options.
      Must be a numeric prediction scheme. Default: Linear Regression.

     -X <number of folds>
      Sets the number of cross-validation folds.

     -S <num>
      Random number seed.
      (default 1)

     -B <classifier specification>
      Full class name of classifier to include, followed
      by scheme options. May be specified multiple times.
      (default: "weka.classifiers.rules.ZeroR")

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