Accessing statistics of support and confidence for rule classifiers defined in weka.classifiers.rules about python-weka-wrapper3 HOT 5 CLOSED

Due to historic reasons, most classifiers implement their own, independent data structures. The RuleStats class is only used by JRip. Parsing the string representation of rules and then turning them back into Java data structures (from within Python using pww) seems an arduous process.
If you still want to pursue the rule parsing, I'd recommend to use Weka's classes in a more direct way, either through Java, Groovy or Jython (the latter two are scripting languages that run directly in the JVM).

@fracpete , thanks for the instant reply.

Yes, I am able to get the ruleset for JRIP. For other methods, the rules are as a weka.classifier.Classifier object, so can you tell me which Weka classes should I use to get the ruleset from this classifier object. I need to provide the ruleset as a parameter to the RuleStats class for getting the statistics.

These other classes do not provide an interface for accessing the rules, as far as I know (maybe there are protected methods, but you'd have to dig in the source code for that).
weka.classifiers.Classifier is the general interface that all classification and regression algorithms share. It does not give you any access to rule sets.

Thanks a lot for your help. I will try to find out a way for this.

BTW, the python-weka-wrapper3 is of great help to me. It saved the development time for me.

Hey,

I solved the issue by parsing the classifier outputs and creating methods for computing the statistics in Python. This is working fine.

I agree to close this issue.
