class DecisionTreeID3 extends ClassifierInt with DecisionTree

The DecisionTreeID3 class implements a Decision Tree classifier using the ID3 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).
