/**
 <!-- globalinfo-start -->
 * A meta subset evaluator that makes its base subset evaluator cost-sensitive.
 * <p/>
 <!-- globalinfo-end -->
 *
 <!-- options-start -->
 * Valid options are: <p/>
 * 
 * <pre> -C <cost file name>
 *  File name of a cost matrix to use. If this is not supplied,
 *  a cost matrix will be loaded on demand. The name of the
 *  on-demand file is the relation name of the training data
 *  plus ".cost", and the path to the on-demand file is
 *  specified with the -N option.</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -N <directory>
 *  Name of a directory to search for cost files when loading
 *  costs on demand (default current directory).</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -cost-matrix <matrix>
 *  The cost matrix in Matlab single line format.</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -S <integer>
 *  The seed to use for random number generation.</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -W
 *  Full name of base evaluator.
 *  (default: weka.attributeSelection.ReliefFAttributeEval)</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> 
 * Options specific to evaluator weka.attributeSelection.ReliefFAttributeEval:
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -M <num instances>
 *  Specify the number of instances to
 *  sample when estimating attributes.
 *  If not specified, then all instances
 *  will be used.</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -D <seed>
 *  Seed for randomly sampling instances.
 *  (Default = 1)</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -K <number of neighbours>
 *  Number of nearest neighbours (k) used
 *  to estimate attribute relevances
 *  (Default = 10).</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -W
 *  Weight nearest neighbours by distance</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -A <num>
 *  Specify sigma value (used in an exp
 *  function to control how quickly
 *  weights for more distant instances
 *  decrease. Use in conjunction with -W.
 *  Sensible value=1/5 to 1/10 of the
 *  number of nearest neighbours.
 *  (Default = 2)</pre>
