/**
 * Class for handling an attribute. Once an attribute has been created, it can't
 * be changed.
 * 

* * The following attribute types are supported: *

    *
  • numeric:
    * This type of attribute represents a floating-point number.
  • *
  • nominal:
    * This type of attribute represents a fixed set of nominal values.
  • *
  • string:
    * This type of attribute represents a dynamically expanding set of nominal * values. Usually used in text classification.
  • *
  • date:
    * This type of attribute represents a date, internally represented as * floating-point number storing the milliseconds since January 1, 1970, * 00:00:00 GMT. The string representation of the date must be ISO-8601 compliant, the default is * yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.
  • *
  • relational:
    * This type of attribute can contain other attributes and is, e.g., used for * representing Multi-Instance data. (Multi-Instance data consists of a nominal * attribute containing the bag-id, then a relational attribute with all the * attributes of the bag, and finally the class attribute.)
  • *
* * Typical usage (code from the main() method of this class): *

* * * ...
* * // Create numeric attributes "length" and "weight"
* Attribute length = new Attribute("length");
* Attribute weight = new Attribute("weight");

* * // Create list to hold nominal values "first", "second", "third"
* List my_nominal_values = new ArrayList(3);
* my_nominal_values.add("first");
* my_nominal_values.add("second");
* my_nominal_values.add("third");

* * // Create nominal attribute "position"
* Attribute position = new Attribute("position", my_nominal_values);
* * ...
*
