 * Chooses the best number of iterations for an IterativeClassifier such as
 * LogitBoost using cross-validation or a percentage split evaluation.
 * 
 
 * Optimizes the number of iterations of the given iterative classifier using cross-validation or a percentage
 * split evaluation.

 * 
 -P <int>
 *  The size of the thread pool, for example, the number of cores in the CPU.
