/**
* This operator maps the values of all nominal values to binary attributes. For example,
* if a nominal attribute with name "costs" and possible nominal values
* "low", "moderate", and "high" is transformed, the result
* is a set of three binominal attributes "costs = low", "costs = moderate",
* and "costs = high". Only one of the values of each attribute is true for a specific
* example, the other values are false.
