Weka 3.6 Tutorial: (Waikato Environment For Knowledge Analysis)

Weka is a machine learning tool developed by the University of Waikato that provides algorithms for data preprocessing, classification, regression, clustering, association rule mining and feature selection. It has a graphical user interface called Explorer for loading and preprocessing data files and evaluating models, as well as command line interfaces. Weka supports common data formats like ARFF and CSV and can preprocess data using filters before applying classification and other machine learning algorithms. Example commands are provided for loading data, applying classifiers like J48 decision trees and Naive Bayes, and using filters.

Preprocessing Data
• Data can be imported from a file in various
formats: ARFF, CSV etc.
• Data can also be read from a URL or from an
SQL database (using JDBC)
• Pre-processing tools in WEKA are called
“filters”
CSV (Comma Separated) File
Roll,Name,Percentage,Passed
1,ABC,72,y
2,abc,30.8,n
Result.csv
3,xyz,44.3,n
4,XYZ,52.3,y

Command for converting csv to arff:

java weka.core.converters.CSVLoader Result.csv > Result.arff


ARFF File Description of dataset

@relation Result
Numeric

@attribute Roll numeric


@attribute Name {ABC,abc,xyz,XYZ}
Nominal
@attribute Percentage numeric
@attribute Passed {y,n}

@data
1,ABC,72,y
2,abc,30.8,n weka.core.Instance
3,xyz,44.3,n
4,XYZ,52.3,y
Weka.Classifiers
• A simple example

java weka.classifiers.trees.J48 -t data/weather.arff

Classifier: Decision tree
