class DecisionTreeC45 extends ClassifierReal
The DecisionTreeC45 class implements a Decision Tree classifier using the
C4.5 algorithm. The classifier is trained using a data matrix 'x' and a
classification vector 'y'. Each data vector in the matrix is classified into
one of 'k' classes numbered '0, ..., k-1'. Each column in the matrix represents
a feature (e.g., Humidity). The 'vc' array gives the number of distinct values
per feature (e.g., 2 for Humidity).
