Many of the fuzzy-rough feature selection measures have been ported to Weka – the standalone program (i.e. the executable jar) is here. (last update: April 19th, 2013).
If you want to process larger datasets, then you’ll need to change the Java heap size. An easy way of doing this is to put this file: run.bat in the same directory as Weka (above) and double-click it. You can edit this file to increase or decrease the heap size.
A worksheet that explains how to use Weka and the implemented fuzzy-rough algorithms can be here.
FuzzyRoughSubsetEval contains various measures and the option of selecting connectives, similarity measures etc. HillClimber is similar to Weka’s Greedy Stepwise search, but allows search to a degree alpha (for alpha-decision reducts) and search using non-monotonic measures (such as VQRS). AntSearch implements ACO-based search and includes the option of using any subset evaluator for the initial heuristic matrix and subset evaluation. PSOSearch implements search based on binary particle swarm optimization.
In the Classifiers section, there is now a range of fuzzy-rough classifiers including fuzzy-rough nearest neighbours and QuickRules.
It is really a commendable work. I really like people contributing their algos to WEKA. In no time Weka will emerge has a standard platform for data mining.
Hi,
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge about using FuzzyRough data mining with Weka! I have downloaded Weka from http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/index_downloading.html
for my macbook but I couldn’t find FuzzyRoughSubsetEval when I want to choose “attribute evaluator”! what should I do to have this?
Hi Sara
You need to download the version of Weka from my webpage (here’s a direct link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2043486/weka.jar). I haven’t had time to make this a plugin yet for the original version.
I could download. But i am not getting the icon to run. How to do that?. Can you explain please.
Hi sarojini
Try downloading the program from here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2043486/weka.jar
and then double-clicking on the icon
I was looking for something which can be used on macbook! anyway your version beautifully functioned on my pc! thanks again
Still i am not getting the icon (crow image). I can’t run the program. Could you please help me.
Can you run the ordinary Weka program? (http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/downloading.html)
Also, what version of Java do you have?
Yes. I could install and run weka 3.7.2. Java version is 1.7
Can you give me any more information about the problem – i.e. do you get an error message?
Alternatively, you can try running the program via a script such as this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2043486/run.bat
Put this file in the same directory as Weka and try double-clicking run.bat.
I have put the batch file in the same directory where i have downloaded weka. When I double clicked batch file, a blinking black screen appeared and disappeared.
Sorry, then, I don’t know what the problem is. If other executable jar files work then I’m not sure what’s going wrong. If other executables don’t work then you could try reinstalling the JRE.
Hi
How should I add and write a program in weka? for example use weka in netbean
I want to mix genetic algorithm and Iaco as feature selection and add it to weka
Do you have a refrence to propose me?
thanks
You can follow the instructions here:
http://weka.wikispaces.com/Netbeans+6.0+(weka-src.jar)
thanks a lot
but I can’t open the page ,you put it’s link.
I don’t know what should I do?
I used your weka.jar file. if I take the text file other than english there is not having any option for utf8 as in the original weka have. could you tell me how I used utf8 in your WEKA jar file
Have you tried this:
http://weka.wikispaces.com/Can+I+process+UTF-8+datasets+or+files%3F
I used GUI based original WEKA in that I used TextDirectoryLoader. here I am getting four option namely CharSet, debug, directory, outputfile name. but in your weka jar file charset missing. therefore I am unable to do any operation on non english text. please suggest option in your weka jar file ( GUI based)
That’s strange – I’ve downloaded my Weka version again and checked this, and charSet is available.
Could you try downloading my version again (here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2043486/weka.jar) and see if the option is still not available?
Thanks
Thank you very much I got the option. Once again thank you
