/**
 <!-- 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.CfsSubsetEval)</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> 
 * Options specific to evaluator weka.attributeSelection.CfsSubsetEval:
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -M
 *  Treat missing values as a seperate value.</pre>
 * 
 * <pre> -L
 *  Don't include locally predictive attributes.</pre>
