          public java.lang.Class getWrappedAlgorithmClass()

      Get the class of the wrapped algorithm
      Specified by:
        `getWrappedAlgorithmClass` in class `WekaAlgorithmWrapper`
      Returns:
        the class of the wrapped algorithm

    - #### setWrappedAlgorithm

          public void setWrappedAlgorithm(java.lang.Object algo)

      Set the wrapped algorithm to use
      Overrides:
        `setWrappedAlgorithm` in class `WekaAlgorithmWrapper`
      Parameters:
        `algo` - the algorithm to use

    - #### getLoader

          public Loader getLoader()

      Convenience method - calls `getWrappedAlgorithm()`
      Returns:
        the wrapped loader

    - #### setLoader

          @ProgrammaticProperty
          public void setLoader(Loader loader)

      Convenience method - calls `setWrappedAlgorithm()`
      Parameters:
        `loader` - the loader to use

    - #### stepInit

          public void stepInit()
                        throws WekaException

      Initialize the step.
      Specified by:
        `stepInit` in interface `BaseStepExtender`
      Specified by:
        `stepInit` in interface `Step`
      Throws:
        `WekaException` - if a problem occurs during initialization

    - #### start

          public void start()
                     throws WekaException

      Start executing
      Specified by:
        `start` in interface `BaseStepExtender`
      Specified by:
        `start` in interface `Step`
      Overrides:
        `start` in class `BaseStep`
      Throws:
        `WekaException` - if a problem occurs

    - #### 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

    - #### 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.
      Specified by:
        `getIncomingConnectionTypes` in interface `BaseStepExtender`
      Specified by:
        `getIncomingConnectionTypes` in interface `Step`
      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.
      Specified by:
        `getOutgoingConnectionTypes` in interface `BaseStepExtender`
      Specified by:
        `getOutgoingConnectionTypes` in interface `Step`
      Returns:
        a list of outgoing connections that this step can produce

          public java.lang.String getCustomEditorForStep()

      Return the fully qualified name of a custom editor component (JComponent) to use for editing the properties of the step. This method can return null, in which case the system will dynamically generate an editor using the GenericObjectEditor
      Specified by:
        `getCustomEditorForStep` in interface `Step`
      Overrides:
        `getCustomEditorForStep` in class `BaseStep`
      Returns:
        the fully qualified name of a step editor component
