## Class PartitionMembership

- java.lang.Object
- - weka.filters.Filter
  - - weka.filters.supervised.attribute.PartitionMembership

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, CapabilitiesHandler, CapabilitiesIgnorer, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler, SupervisedFilter

      public class PartitionMembership
      extends Filter
      implements SupervisedFilter, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler

  * A filter that uses a PartitionGenerator to generate partition membership values; filtered instances are composed of these values plus the class attribute (if set in the input data) and rendered as sparse instances. See Section 3 of
  * Eibe Frank, Bernhard Pfahringer: Propositionalisation of Multi-instance Data Using Random Forests. In: AI 2013: Advances in Artificial Intelligence, 362-373, 2013. *
  * Valid options are:

  * *

       -W <name of partition generator>
       *  Full name of partition generator to use, e.g.:
       *   weka.classifiers.trees.J48
       *  Additional options after the '--'.
       *  (default: weka.classifiers.trees.J48)

  * Options after the -- are passed on to the clusterer.

      Sets the format of the input instances.
      Overrides:
        `setInputFormat` in class `Filter`
      Parameters:
        `instanceInfo` - an Instances object containing the input instance structure (any instances contained in the object are ignored - only the structure is required).
      Returns:
        true if the outputFormat may be collected immediately
      Throws:
        `java.lang.Exception` - if the inputFormat can't be set successfully

      Overrides:
        `batchFinished` in class `Filter`
      Returns:
        true if there are instances pending output
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if no input structure has been defined
