Format

Format#

Format of the cost matrices:

  • regular 
     % Rows Columns
 2  2
 % Matrix elements
 0.0    5.0
 1.0    0.0
  • Matlab single-line format (see also the Matlab Primer) 
     [0.0 5.0; 1.0 0.0]

Testing the format#

The following code loads a cost matrix and prints its content to the console. Useful, if one wants to test whether the format is correct:

 import weka.classifiers.CostMatrix;

 import java.io.BufferedReader;
 import java.io.FileReader;

 /**
  * Loads the cost matrix "args[0]" and prints its content to the console.
  *

 public class CostMatrixLoader {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
     CostMatrix matrix = new **CostMatrix**(
                           new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0])));
     System.out.println(matrix);
   }
 }
