## weka.classifiers.misc
Class HyperPipes

    java.lang.Object
      weka.classifiers.Classifier
          weka.classifiers.misc.HyperPipes

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, CapabilitiesHandler, OptionHandler, RevisionHandler

    public class HyperPipes

extends Classifier

Class implementing a HyperPipe classifier. For each category a HyperPipe is constructed that contains all points of that category (essentially records the attribute bounds observed for each category). Test instances are classified according to the category that "most contains the instance".
Does not handle numeric class, or missing values in test cases. Extremely simple algorithm, but has the advantage of being extremely fast, and works quite well when you have "smegloads" of attributes.

Valid options are:

     -D
      If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
      may output additional info to the console

  Overrides:
    `distributionForInstance` in class `Classifier`
  Parameters:
    `instance` - the instance to be classified
  Returns:
    the predicted class for the instance
