In this chapter, we will be working with datasets. The general format of a dataset is a comma-separated value (CSV) file, and Weka works with a special kind of format, known as an Attribute-Relation File Format (ARFF) file. We will look at how to convert a CSV file to an ARFF file, and vice versa.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- A brief introduction to Weka
- Installing and interfacing with Weka
- Reading and writing datasets
- Converting datasets
First, let's look at an introduction to Weka.
