  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setTrainPercent

          @OptionMetadata(displayName="Training percentage",
                          description="The percentage of data to go into the training set",
                          displayOrder=1)
          public void setTrainPercent(java.lang.String percent)

      Set the training percentage
      Parameters:
        `percent` - the training percentage

    - #### getTrainPercent

          public java.lang.String getTrainPercent()

      Get the training percentage
      Returns:
        the training percentage

    - #### setSeed

          @OptionMetadata(displayName="Random seed",
                          description="The random seed",
                          displayOrder=2)
          public void setSeed(java.lang.String seed)

      Set the random seed to use
      Parameters:
        `seed` - the random seed to use

    - #### getSeed

          public java.lang.String getSeed()

      Get the random seed to use
      Returns:
        the random seed to use

    - #### stepInit

          public void stepInit()
                        throws WekaException

      Initialize the step
      Throws:
        `WekaException` - if a problem occurs

    - #### processIncoming

          public void processIncoming(Data data)
                               throws WekaException

      Process an incoming data payload (if the step accepts incoming connections)
      Specified by:
        `processIncoming` in interface `BaseStepExtender`
      Specified by:
        `processIncoming` in interface `Step`
      Overrides:
        `processIncoming` in class `BaseStep`
      Parameters:
        `data` - the data to process
      Throws:
        `WekaException` - if a problem occurs

    - #### getIncomingConnectionTypes

          public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getIncomingConnectionTypes()

      Get a list of incoming connection types that this step can accept. Ideally (and if appropriate), this should take into account the state of the step and any existing incoming connections. E.g. a step might be able to accept one (and only one) incoming batch data connection.
      Returns:
        a list of incoming connections that this step can accept given its current state

    - #### getOutgoingConnectionTypes

          public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getOutgoingConnectionTypes()

      Get a list of outgoing connection types that this step can produce. Ideally (and if appropriate), this should take into account the state of the step and the incoming connections. E.g. depending on what incoming connection is present, a step might be able to produce a trainingSet output, a testSet output or neither, but not both.
      Returns:
        a list of outgoing connections that this step can produce

    - #### outputStructureForConnectionType

          public Instances outputStructureForConnectionType(java.lang.String connectionName)
                                                     throws WekaException

      If possible, get the output structure for the named connection type as a header-only set of instances. Can return null if the specified connection type is not representable as Instances or cannot be determined at present.
      Specified by:
        `outputStructureForConnectionType` in interface `Step`
      Overrides:
        `outputStructureForConnectionType` in class `BaseStep`
      Parameters:
        `connectionName` - the name of the connection type to get the output structure for
      Returns:
        the output structure as a header-only Instances object
      Throws:
        `WekaException` - if a problem occurs
