Method Summary

BuildTask	create(java.lang.String buildData, java.lang.String buildSettingsName, java.lang.String modelName) Creates an instance of BuildTask with the specified build data PhysicalDataSet, build settings, and the name of the model to be produced.
boolean	supportsCapability(MiningFunction function, MiningAlgorithm algorithm, BuildTaskCapability capability) Returns true if the specified function and algorithm support the specified capability.

Method Detail

create

public BuildTask create(java.lang.String buildData,
                        java.lang.String buildSettingsName,
                        java.lang.String modelName)
                 throws JDMException

Creates an instance of BuildTask with the specified build data PhysicalDataSet, build settings, and the name of the model to be produced.

Parameters:

buildData - The name of a physical data (either table or file) to be used for model building.

buildSettingsName - The name of a build settings to be used for model building.

modelName - The name of the resulting model to be persisted in the current schema where the task is executed.

Returns:

BuildTask

Throws:

JDMException

supportsCapability

public boolean supportsCapability(MiningFunction function,
                                  MiningAlgorithm algorithm,
                                  BuildTaskCapability capability)
                           throws JDMException

Returns true if the specified function and algorithm support the specified capability. Returns false if the specified combination is not supported. Throws an exception if function is null. If algorithm is null, returns the support of the specified capability at the function level.

Parameters:

function - The function to support the specified capability.

algorithm - The algorithm to support the specified capability.

capability - The capability of build task.

Returns:

boolean

Throws:

JDMException
