implements ThreadSafeClassifier, StoppableWithFeedback
    Locally weighted learning. Uses an instance-based algorithm to assign instance weights which are then used by a specified WeightedInstancesHandler.
    Can do classification (e.g. using naive Bayes) or regression (e.g. using linear regression).
