442 CHAPTER 12 | THE EXPERIMENTERalgorithm. It would be nice to avoid having to recalculate all the results that havealready been obtained! If the results have been placed in a database rather thanan ARFF or CSV file, this is exactly what happens. You can choose JDBC databasein the results destination selector <strong>and</strong> connect to any database that has aJDBC driver. You need to specify the database’s URL <strong>and</strong> enter a username <strong>and</strong>password. To make this work with your database you may need to modify theweka/experiment/<strong>Data</strong>baseUtils.props file in the Weka distribution. If you alteran experiment that uses a database, Weka will reuse previously computed resultswhenever they are available. This greatly simplifies the kind of iterative experimentationthat typically characterizes data mining research.12.3 Advanced setupThe Experimenter has an advanced mode. Click near the top of the panel shownin Figure 12.1(a) to obtain the more formidable version of the panel shown inFigure 12.3. This enlarges the options available for controlling the experiment—including, for example, the ability to generate learning curves. However, theFigure 12.3 Setting up an experiment in advanced mode.
