* Options specific to classifier weka.classifiers.trees.J48: ** *
-U * Use unpruned tree.* *
-C <pruning confidence> * Set confidence threshold for pruning. * (default 0.25)* *
-M <minimum number of instances> * Set minimum number of instances per leaf. * (default 2)* *
-R * Use reduced error pruning.* *
-N <number of folds> * Set number of folds for reduced error * pruning. One fold is used as pruning set. * (default 3)* *
-B * Use binary splits only.* *
-S * Don't perform subtree raising.* *
-L * Do not clean up after the tree has been built.* *
-A * Laplace smoothing for predicted probabilities.* *
-Q <seed> * Seed for random data shuffling (default 1).* * * Options after -- are passed to the designated classifier.
