public class NumericToDate
extends SimpleBatchFilter
implements WeightedAttributesHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler
A filter for turning numeric attributes into date attributes.
The numeric value is assumed to be the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT,
corresponding to the given date."
Valid options are:
-R <col1,col2-col4,...> Specifies list of attributes to turn into date ones. Only numeric attributes will be converted. First and last are valid indexes. (default: first-last)
