Custom Operator integration

schmitt

Hi all,

Does a custom operator necessarily have to be subclassed from Operator?

My custom operator is an adapted version of the BinominalClassificationPerformance subclassed from MeasuredPerformance.
The problem is, that it is not visible in RapidMiner after deployment while a second custom operator in the jar (TestOp) is visible.

The included operators.xml should be fine::

<operators>

    <operator
     name        = "EnhancedClassificationPerformance"
     class       = "com.rapidminer.operator.performance.EnhancedClassificationPerformance"
     description = "This operator delivers as output a list of performance values according to a list of selected performance criteria (for binominal classification tasks)."
     group       = "Validation"/>    
<operator
	name        = "TestOp"   
    class       = "myPackage.TestOp"
    description = "Operator is subclassed from Operator and is visible in RapidMiner"
    group       = "Other"/>   
     
</operators>

Any clue or workaround?

Best regards,
Alex

Hello

Yes !

Any clue or workaround?

If you want to add new operator for performance measurement, you have to subclass e.g. com.rapidminer.operator.performance.AbstractPerformanceEvaluator
Take a look at the class BinaryClassificationPerformance and BinominalClassificationPerformanceEvaluatorr, both in the package com.rapidminer.operator.performance. One represents the operator you can add to a process, the other one calculates the performance measure and is hooked into the evaluator operator, which delegates the calculation.

hope this was helpful

Steffen,

of course, that's it!
Works perfectly now...

Thanks for the quick reply!
