java.lang.Objectweka.filters.Filter
weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.NominalToBinary
public class NominalToBinary
Converts all nominal attributes into binary numeric attributes. An attribute with k values is transformed into k binary attributes if the class is nominal (using the one-attribute-per-value approach). Binary attributes are left binary, if option '-A' is not given.If the class is numeric, you might want to use the supervised version of this filter.
Valid options are:-N Sets if binary attributes are to be coded as nominal ones.
-A For each nominal value a new attribute is created, not only if there are more than 2 values.
-R <col1,col2-col4,...> Specifies list of columns to act on. First and last are valid indexes. (default: first-last)
-V Invert matching sense of column indexes.
