Class Center

    java.lang.Object
      weka.filters.Filter
          weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.PotentialClassIgnorer
              weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.Center

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, Sourcable, UnsupervisedFilter

    public class Center

extends PotentialClassIgnorer
implements UnsupervisedFilter, Sourcable

Centers all numeric attributes in the given dataset to have zero mean (apart from the class attribute, if set).

Valid options are:

     -unset-class-temporarily
      Unsets the class index temporarily before the filter is
      applied to the data.

Constructor Detail

### Center

    public Center()

Method Detail

### 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

### getCapabilities

    public Capabilities getCapabilities()

  Returns the Capabilities of this filter.

  Specified by:
    `getCapabilities` in interface `CapabilitiesHandler`
  Overrides:
    `getCapabilities` in class `Filter`
  Returns:
    the capabilities of this object
  See Also:
    `Capabilities`

### setInputFormat

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

  Sets the format of the input instances.

  Overrides:
    `setInputFormat` in class `PotentialClassIgnorer`
  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 input format can't be set successfully

### input

    public boolean input(Instance instance)

  Input an instance for filtering. Filter requires all training 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 set.

### batchFinished

    public boolean batchFinished()

  Signify that this batch of input to the filter is finished. If the filter requires all instances prior to filtering, output() may now be called to retrieve the filtered instances.

  Overrides:
    `batchFinished` in class `Filter`
  Returns:
    true if there are instances pending output
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if no input structure has been defined

### toSource

    public java.lang.String toSource(java.lang.String className,
                                     Instances data)
                              throws java.lang.Exception

  Returns a string that describes the filter as source. The filter will be contained in a class with the given name (there may be auxiliary classes), and will contain two methods with these signatures:

       // converts one row
       public static Object[] filter(Object[] i);
       // converts a full dataset (first dimension is row index)
       public static Object[][] filter(Object[][] i);

  where the array `i` contains elements that are either Double, String, with missing values represented as null. The generated code is public domain and comes with no warranty.

  Specified by:
    `toSource` in interface `Sourcable`
  Parameters:
    `className` - the name that should be given to the source class.
    `data` - the dataset used for initializing the filter
  Returns:
    the object source described by a string
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if the source can't be computed

### getRevision

    public java.lang.String getRevision()

  Returns the revision string.

  Specified by:
    `getRevision` in interface `RevisionHandler`
  Overrides:
    `getRevision` in class `Filter`
  Returns:
    the revision

### main

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

  Main method for running this filter.

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