"protypes making by clustering"

m_r_nour

Hi all

I want to use centers of clusters in each class  as new data to reduce number of the samples:

as far as I know I should make an iteration among classes and in each class make  a cluster and uses centers of clusters as a new sample.
but I do not know how? I made a draft code but I works just to filtering and clustering and it is not able to use and save them.

Hi,
unfortunately this isn't possible with the current versions of RapidMiner. Might be, there will be an operator building an example set from a flat cluster model in 5.0.

G'day,

I want to use centers of clusters in each class  as new data to reduce number of the samples:

An alternative would be to say that each label value is the name of a cluster, and that a protototype for a cluster would have for each attribute a value equal to the average for that attribute in that cluster. In that case you can do the following...

<operator name="Root" class="Process" expanded="yes">
    <operator name="ExampleSetGenerator" class="ExampleSetGenerator">
        <parameter key="target_function"	value="simple non linear classification"/>
        <parameter key="number_of_attributes"	value="10"/>
    </operator>
    <operator name="ValueIterator" class="ValueIterator" expanded="yes">
        <parameter key="attribute"	value="label"/>
        <operator name="ExampleFilter" class="ExampleFilter">
            <parameter key="condition_class"	value="attribute_value_filter"/>
            <parameter key="parameter_string"	value="label=%{loop_value}"/>
        </operator>
        <operator name="FeatureNameFilter" class="FeatureNameFilter">
            <parameter key="filter_special_features"	value="true"/>
            <parameter key="skip_features_with_name"	value="label"/>
        </operator>
        <operator name="ExampleSetTranspose" class="ExampleSetTranspose">
        </operator>
        <operator name="AttributeAggregation" class="AttributeAggregation">
            <parameter key="attribute_name"	value="Average_%{loop_value}"/>
            <parameter key="aggregation_attributes"	value=".*"/>
            <parameter key="aggregation_function"	value="average"/>
        </operator>
        <operator name="ExampleSetTranspose (2)" class="ExampleSetTranspose">
        </operator>
    </operator>
    <operator name="ExampleSetMerge" class="ExampleSetMerge">
    </operator>
    <operator name="ExampleFilter (2)" class="ExampleFilter">
        <parameter key="condition_class"	value="attribute_value_filter"/>
        <parameter key="parameter_string"	value="id=att.*"/>
        <parameter key="invert_filter"	value="true"/>
    </operator>
</operator>
