The Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA), a machine learning workbench. This version represents the developer version, the "bleeding edge" of development, you could say. New functionality gets added to this version.
There is a newer version: 3.9.6

/**
 
 * Class for constructing a tree that considers K randomly  chosen attributes at each node. Performs no pruning. Also has an option to allow estimation of class probabilities (or target mean in the regression case) based on a hold-out set (backfitting).
 * 
 
 * 
 
 * Valid options are: 

 * 
 * 
 -K <number of attributes>
 *  Number of attributes to randomly investigate. (default 0)
 *  (<0 = int(log_2(#predictors)+1)).
 * 
 *  -M <minimum number of instances>
 *  Set minimum number of instances per leaf.
 *  (default 1)
 * 
 *  -V <minimum variance for split>
 *  Set minimum numeric class variance proportion
 *  of train variance for split (default 1e-3).
 * 
 *  -S <num>
 *  Seed for random number generator.
 *  (default 1)
 * 
 *  -depth <num>
 *  The maximum depth of the tree, 0 for unlimited.
 *  (default 0)
 * 
 *  -N <num>
 *  Number of folds for backfitting (default 0, no backfitting).
 * 
 *  -U
 *  Allow unclassified instances.
 * 
 *  -output-debug-info
 *  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
 *  may output additional info to the console
 * 
 *  -do-not-check-capabilities
 *  If set, classifier capabilities are not checked before classifier is built
 *  (use with caution).
