/**
 * Generates artificial datasets for testing. In case of Multi-Instance data the
 * settings for the number of attributes applies to the data inside the bag.
 * Originally based on code from the CheckClassifier.
 * 
 * 
 *  Valid options are:
 * 

 * 
 * 
 * -relation <name>
 *  The name of the data set.
 * 
 * 
 *  * -seed <num>
 *  The seed value.
 * 
 * 
 *  * -num-instances <num>
 *  The number of instances in the datasets (default 20).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -class-type <num>
 *  The class type, see constants in weka.core.Attribute
 *  (default 1=nominal).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -class-values <num>
 *  The number of classes to generate (for nominal classes only)
 *  (default 2).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -class-index <num>
 *  The class index, with -1=last, (default -1).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -no-class
 *  Doesn't include a class attribute in the output.
 * 
 * 
 *  * -nominal <num>
 *  The number of nominal attributes (default 1).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -nominal-values <num>
 *  The number of values for nominal attributes (default 2).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -numeric <num>
 *  The number of numeric attributes (default 0).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -string <num>
 *  The number of string attributes (default 0).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -words <comma-separated-list>
 *  The words to use in string attributes.
 * 
 * 
 *  * -word-separators <chars>
 *  The word separators to use in string attributes.
 * 
 * 
 *  * -date <num>
 *  The number of date attributes (default 0).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -relational <num>
 *  The number of relational attributes (default 0).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -relational-nominal <num>
 *  The number of nominal attributes in a rel. attribute (default 1).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -relational-nominal-values <num>
 *  The number of values for nominal attributes in a rel. attribute (default 2).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -relational-numeric <num>
 *  The number of numeric attributes in a rel. attribute (default 0).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -relational-string <num>
 *  The number of string attributes in a rel. attribute (default 0).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -relational-date <num>
 *  The number of date attributes in a rel. attribute (default 0).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -num-instances-relational <num>
 *  The number of instances in relational/bag attributes (default 10).
 * 
 * 
 *  * -multi-instance
 *  Generates multi-instance data.
 * 
 * 
 *  * -W <classname>
 *  The Capabilities handler to base the dataset on.
 *  The other parameters can be used to override the ones
 *  determined from the handler. Additional parameters for
 *  handler can be passed on after the '--'.
