    public DefineFunction(org.w3c.dom.Element container,
                          weka.core.pmml.TransformationDictionary transDict)
                   throws java.lang.Exception

Throws:
  `java.lang.Exception`

Method Detail

### getOutputDef

    public Attribute getOutputDef()

  Get the structure of the result produced by this function.

  Specified by:
    `getOutputDef` in class `Function`
  Returns:
    the structure of the result produced by this function.

### getParameterNames

    public java.lang.String[] getParameterNames()

  Returns an array of the names of the parameters expected as input by this function. May return null if this function can take an unbounded number of parameters (i.e. min, max, etc.).

  Specified by:
    `getParameterNames` in class `Function`
  Returns:
    an array of the parameter names or null if there are an unbounded number of parameters.

### getResult

    public double getResult(double[] incoming)
                     throws java.lang.Exception

  Get the result of applying this function.

  Specified by:
    `getResult` in class `Function`
  Parameters:
    `incoming` - the arguments to this function (supplied in order to match that of the parameter definitions
  Returns:
    the result of applying this function. When the optype is categorical or ordinal, an index into the values of the output definition is returned.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if there is a problem computing the result of this function

### setParameterDefs

    public void setParameterDefs(java.util.ArrayList<Attribute> paramDefs)
                          throws java.lang.Exception

  Set the structure of the parameters that are expected as input by this function. This must be called before getOutputDef() is called.

  Specified by:
    `setParameterDefs` in class `Function`
  Parameters:
    `paramDefs` - the structure of the input parameters
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if the number or types of parameters are not acceptable by this function

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Overrides:
