J48PartiallyConsolidated: An implementation of the PCTBagging algorithm for WEKA

This page contains the complete material related to "J48PartiallyConsolidated: An implementation of the PCTBagging algorithm for WEKA".

• Technical information:

  Class for generating a Partially Consolidated Tree-Bagging (PCTBagging) multiple classifier. Allows building a classifier between a single consolidated tree (100%), based on J48Consolidated, and a bagging (0%), according to the given consolidation percent. First, a partially consolidated tree is built based on a set of samples, and then, a standard J48 decision tree is developed from the leaves of the tree related to each sample, as Bagging does.

• Weka package:

  The Weka package containing the J48PartiallyConsolidated classifier (tested for 3.8.7-SNAPSHOT) to be installed from Weka's package manager, including compiled code, source code, javadocs and package description files, can be found in the official list of Weka packages:

  J48PartiallyConsolidated package

  or here:

  J48PartiallyConsolidated-v0.3.zip

• Source code:

  The source code of the classes that implement the J48PartiallyConsolidated classifier (on stable-3-8-5 version of Weka) can be found in:

  J48PartiallyConsolidated.java.zip

  This classifier is based on J48Consolidated package which can be installed through the package manager of Weka, can be found on the package's website (http://www.aldapa.eus/res/weka-ctc/) or can be directly downloaded here:

  J48Consolidated.java.zip

  In order to complete the whole source code of the implementation, download the Weka source code from https://waikato.github.io/weka-wiki/downloading_weka/.

• Executable file:

  The executable file in Weka is a .jar file. The file with the current J48PartiallyConsolidated implementation included in the stable-3-8-5 version of Weka can be found in:

  Weka-PCTBagging.jar

  To run Weka type:

  java -Xmx1000M -jar Weka-PCTBagging.jar
