FirstOrder

Package

weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute

Synopsis

This instance filter takes a range of N numeric attributes and replaces them with N-1 numeric attributes, the values of which are the difference between consecutive attribute values from the original instance. eg:

Original attribute values

0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, 0.3

New attribute values

0.1, 0.1, -0.2, 0.2

The range of attributes used is taken in numeric order. That is, a range spec of 7-11,3-5 will use the attribute ordering 3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11 for the differences, NOT 7,8,9,10,11,3,4,5.
