SPparameter-class: Class "SPparameter" --- cSPADE Mining Parameters

Description

Provides the constraint parameters for the cSPADE algorithm for mining frequent sequences.

Objects from the Class

A suitable default parameter object will be automatically created by a call to cspade. However, the values can be replaced by specifying a named list with the names (partially) matching the slot names of the SPparameter class.

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("SPparameter", support, ...).

Slots

support:

a numeric value specifying the minimum support of a sequence (default 0.1, range [0,1]).

maxsize:

an integer value specifying the maximum number of items of an element of a sequence (default 10, range > 0).

maxlen:

an integer value specifying the maximum number of elements of a sequence (default 10, range > 0).

mingap:

an integer value specifying the minimum time difference between consecutive elements of a sequence (default none, range >= 1).

maxgap:

an integer value specifying the maximum time difference between consecutive elements of a sequence (default none, range >= 0).

maxwin:

an integer value specifying the maximum time difference between any two elements of a sequence (default none, range >= 0).
