### buildClassifier

    public void buildClassifier(Instances instances)
                         throws java.lang.Exception

  Generates the classifier.

  Specified by:
    `buildClassifier` in class `Classifier`
  Parameters:
    `instances` - set of instances serving as training data
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if the classifier has not been generated successfully

### classifyInstance

    public double classifyInstance(Instance instance)

  Classifies a given instance.

  Overrides:
    `classifyInstance` in class `Classifier`
  Parameters:
    `instance` - the instance to be classified
  Returns:
    index of the predicted class

### distributionForInstance

                                     throws java.lang.Exception

  Calculates the class membership probabilities for the given test instance.

  Overrides:
    `distributionForInstance` in class `Classifier`
  Parameters:
    `instance` - the instance to be classified
  Returns:
    predicted class probability distribution
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Exception` - if class is numeric

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Returns a description of the classifier.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
