Method Summary

ClusteringSettings	create() Creates an instance of ClusteringSettings for building a ClusteringModel initialized to vendor-specific default values.
boolean	supportsCapability(AggregationFunction aggregationFunction) Returns true if the specified aggregation function is supported in theJDM implementation.
boolean	supportsCapability(AttributeComparisonFunction comparisonFunction) Returns true if the specified attribute comparison function is supported in the JDM implementation.
boolean	supportsCapability(ClusteringCapability capability) Returns true if the specified capability is supported in the JDM implementation.
boolean	supportsCapability(MiningAlgorithm algorithm, ClusteringCapability capability) Returns true if the specified capability is supported by the specified clustering algorithm.

Method Detail

create

public ClusteringSettings create()
                          throws JDMException

Creates an instance of ClusteringSettings for building a ClusteringModel initialized to vendor-specific default values.

Returns:

ClusteringSettings

Throws:

JDMException

supportsCapability

public boolean supportsCapability(AggregationFunction aggregationFunction)
                           throws JDMException

Returns true if the specified aggregation function is supported in theJDM implementation. Returns false otherwise.

Parameters:

aggregationFunction -

Returns:

boolean

Throws:

JDMException

supportsCapability

public boolean supportsCapability(AttributeComparisonFunction comparisonFunction)
                           throws JDMException

Returns true if the specified attribute comparison function is supported in the JDM implementation. Returns false otherwise.

Parameters:

comparisonFunction -

Returns:

boolean

Throws:

JDMException

supportsCapability

public boolean supportsCapability(ClusteringCapability capability)
                           throws JDMException

Returns true if the specified capability is supported in the JDM implementation. Returns false otherwise.

Parameters:

capability - An enumeration value that represents a specific capability.

Returns:

boolean

Throws:

JDMException

supportsCapability

public boolean supportsCapability(MiningAlgorithm algorithm,
                                  ClusteringCapability capability)
                           throws JDMException

Returns true if the specified capability is supported by the specified clustering algorithm. Returns false if the algorithm does not support the specified capability.

This method must be used when an algorithm settings is specified with function settings. Throws an exception if the algorithm is not one of the supported clustering algorithms.

Parameters:

algorithm -

capability -

Returns:

boolean

Throws:

JDMException
