* This class is experimental at present. Has been tested using
* CSVResultListener (sending results to standard out) and
* DatabaseResultListener (InstantDB + RmiJdbc bridge).
*
*
* Getting started:
*
*
* Start InstantDB (with the RMI bridge) on some machine. If using java2 then
* specify -Djava.security.policy=db.policy to the virtual machine. Where
* db.policy is as follows:
*
*
* grant {
* permission java.security.AllPermission;
* };
*
*
*
* Start RemoteEngine servers on x machines as per the instructons in the
* README_Experiment_Gui file. There must be a DatabaseUtils.props in either the
* HOME or current directory of each machine, listing all necessary jdbc
* drivers.
*
*
* The machine where a RemoteExperiment is started must also have a copy of
* DatabaseUtils.props listing the URL to the machine where the database server
* is running (RmiJdbc + InstantDB).
*
*
* Here is an example of starting a RemoteExperiment:
*
*
*
*
* java -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=file:/path to weka classes/ \
* weka.experiment.RemoteExperiment -L 1 -U 10 \
* -T /home/ml/datasets/UCI/iris.arff \
* -D "weka.experiment.DatabaseResultListener" \
* -P "weka.experiment.RandomSplitResultProducer" \
* -h rosebud.cs.waikato.ac.nz -h blackbird.cs.waikato.ac.nz -r -- \
* -W weka.experiment.ClassifierSplitEvaluator -- \
* -W weka.classifiers.bayes.NaiveBayes
*
*
*
* The "codebase" property tells rmi where to serve up weka classes from. This
* can either be a file url (as long as a shared file system is being used that
* is accessable by the remoteEngine servers), or http url (which of course
* supposes that a web server is running and you have put your weka classes
* somewhere that is web accessable). If using a file url the trailing "/" is
* *most* important unless the weka classes are in a jar file.
*
*
* Valid options are:
*
*
*
* -L <num>
* The lower run number to start the experiment from.
* (default 1)
*
*
*
* -U <num>
* The upper run number to end the experiment at (inclusive).
* (default 10)
*
*
*
* -T <arff file>
* The dataset to run the experiment on.
* (required, may be specified multiple times)
*
*
*
* -P <class name>
* The full class name of a ResultProducer (required).
* eg: weka.experiment.RandomSplitResultProducer
*
*
*
* -D <class name>
* The full class name of a ResultListener (required).
* eg: weka.experiment.CSVResultListener
*
*
*
* -N <string>
* A string containing any notes about the experiment.
* (default none)
*
*
*
* Options specific to result producer weka.experiment.RandomSplitResultProducer:
*
*
*
* -P <percent>
* The percentage of instances to use for training.
* (default 66)
*
*
*
* -D
* Save raw split evaluator output.
*
*
*
* -O <file/directory name/path>
* The filename where raw output will be stored.
* If a directory name is specified then then individual
* outputs will be gzipped, otherwise all output will be
* zipped to the named file. Use in conjuction with -D. (default splitEvalutorOut.zip)
*
*
*
* -W <class name>
* The full class name of a SplitEvaluator.
* eg: weka.experiment.ClassifierSplitEvaluator
*
*
*
* -R
* Set when data is not to be randomized and the data sets' size.
* Is not to be determined via probabilistic rounding.
*
*
*
* Options specific to split evaluator weka.experiment.ClassifierSplitEvaluator:
*
*
*
* -W <class name>
* The full class name of the classifier.
* eg: weka.classifiers.bayes.NaiveBayes
*
*
*
* -C <index>
* The index of the class for which IR statistics
* are to be output. (default 1)
*
*
*
* -I <index>
* The index of an attribute to output in the
* results. This attribute should identify an
* instance in order to know which instances are
* in the test set of a cross validation. if 0
* no output (default 0).
*
*
*
* -P
* Add target and prediction columns to the result
* for each fold.
*
*
*
* Options specific to classifier weka.classifiers.rules.ZeroR:
*
*
*
* -D
* If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
* may output additional info to the console
*
