Refactor datasets to allow the storage of strings and datetimes

Reported by: mkommend Owned by: gkronber
Priority: medium Milestone: HeuristicLab 3.3.6
Component: Problems.DataAnalysis Version: 3.3.6
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Currently only double values can be stored in the Dataset. Although these are the only values that can be used for modeling, string and DateTime values are useful for information purpose.

The SymbolicDataAnalysisExpressionTreeILEmittingInterpreter must be adapted to work with r6740 correctly.

r6769: fixed a bug in the interpretation of lagged variables introduced with r6740.

comment:9 Changed 13 years ago by gkronber

Importing data does not work reliably. In the TableFileParser lines 100 - 122 first the type of a column is determined heuristically and then the parsed values are filled into the columns.

First of all the statement in line 100:

var columnType = types.GroupBy(v => v).OrderBy(v => v).Last().Key;

throws an exception because it is not possible to use an enumerable as key. Possibly OrderBy(v=>v.Count()) was meant?

The next problem is that first the type of column is determined by the majority of parsed elements for that column, however, later the elements are simply pushed into the columns without checking if the type is compatible. This throws an exception again.
