* Parameters will now be adapted according to an operator rename, for example the settings of operators like the ProcessLog or the parameter optimization operators are automatically corrected to the new operator names
* Graphs like the similarity graph display the strengths of the edges now by their color
* Added new tree layout algorithm for the decision trees preventing most overlapping, the old tighter version is available as layout type "Tree (Tight)"
* Decision trees now show the subtree size as tool tip for the inner nodes, the edges are now darker for larger subtrees and brighter for smaller ones
* Tables like the (meta) data view now supports a new context menu for common table operations like column sorting or row / column selection
* The New Operator dialog now also supports full text search in the description texts of the operators
* RapidMiner now stores all parameter values in the process files including the default values which ensures a better compatibility with future versions. The XML tab, however, only shows the values differing from the default
* Univariate and multivariate series windowing operators now also support nominal attributes and even mixed types in cases where the series is represented by the examples (rows) of the data set
* The range statistics of nominal attributes in the meta data view now shows the values with highest and lowest occurrency counts, sorts the values according to the counts, and displays only an excerpt of the occurring values if large amounts of different values exist
* List of recent files is now directly saved after opening a new process and not only during shutdown
* Changes in the process setup are now allowed even during process runtime, e.g. when waiting at a breakpoint
* Updated to latest version of Weka (as of February 26th, 2009)
* Bugfixes:
- fixed bug accuracy criterion for the revised decision tree learner - Fixed bug in parameter list of ValueSubgroupIterator - Fixed bug in ExceptionHandling which sometimes led to doubled outputs - Fixed bug in ProcessBranch which sometimes led to doubled outputs - ViewAttributes did not add min and max statistics so that those statistics where not calculated on data table views

- ExampleSetWriter: quote_whitespace is now named quote_nominal_values
* ExampleSetMerge can now handle missing values
* RapidMiner does now better support counts for the in- and output types which should considerably reduce the amount of warnings if operators like IOConsumer, IOMultiplier or ExampleSetMerge (reducing several objects of the same type to one of the same) are used
* FileIterator replaces DirectoryIterator and adds many new features like recursive iteration, file name based filtering, and a new macro for the parent path

* Added support for different time zones, users can now define the preferred time zone in the settings dialog and time conversion operators are not able to respect this setting
* Date and times are now displayed in the system's local settings
* New plotter: Block
* Added support for applying a log scale for the color column for the Scatter plot and the new Block plotter
* Data tables like those generated by the process log are now de-coupled from the table used for plotting preventing that the rows will be sampled and rows would be removed from the data table

* A double click on the same region while pressing CTRL will resize all table columns according to the contents

* Bugfixes:
- fixed bug in DBScan for empty cluster models - fixed bug for simple sampling in cases where a local random seed was used - fixed bug in process logging to files which prevented the writing of the first logged result - fixed bug in PSO optimization for cases where the fitness should be minimized instead of maximized - fixed bug in binary performance measure which was not delivering the fitness for specificity, sensitivity, and youden index - fixed bug in meta data table viewer in cases where huge numbers of long nominal values existed which caused a crash of the Java Virtual Machine in some cases

Hi Ema, Cluster2Prediction enables you to use classification performance measures for clustering, if label informations are available. For example think of the situation, where you know what has to be in the same cluster for a subset of your data. You then might use any flat clustering algorithm and test if it discovers your cluster structure. To achieve this, the operator matches the given cluster labels with the class labels in the best fitting way and converts the clusterattribute into a prediction attribute. You then might use the standard performance operators for classification to calculate the performance.

Greetings,
Sebastian
then you could check out the developer version using the developer branch from cvs? A guide for checking out using eclipse is on our website.
Greetings,
Sebastian

downloaded the new Rapidminer...
I was wondering how to use the Cluster2Prediction ?

Thank you very much
It works great
but with aggolom_clustering i tried to use it but
it is not working
i tried to flattern then to use example2cluster
but still can not work ...
Thank you in advance
there seems to be a problem during the flattening of the agglomerative clustering. I send this topic to Sebastian who is our clustering expert.
Cheers,
Ingo
