Miscellaneous Notes on Pre-processing: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Weka: Use: C:\Program Files\Weka-3-7>java -Xmx768m -jar weka.jar to increase the amount of main memory used by Weka to 768m (you can specify to use more memory as needed/available). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Matlab: Useful Functions: c = load('iris.csv'); cc = corr(c); cc ccv = cov(c); ccv heatmap(cc) - I downloaded heatmap from Matlab Central. More specifically, http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24253-customizable-heat-maps - Once you get the figure, click on "Figure Properties" under "Edit". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Excel: To install the Analysis ToolPak in Excel: Under "File" Go to "Options" Go to "Add-Ins" Select Analysis ToolPak Hit OK To use it: Under the "Data" tab, Go to "Data Analysis" (on the right top part) Select correlation and follow the steps --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
