Weka doesn't differentiate between integer and float, every number is
converted to a double and treated as such.

Use the NumericToNominal filter (package
weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute ) to convert them to nominal
values. Or store your attributes as STRING attributes and then use the
StringToNominal filter (same package) to convert them.
