    public class LWLIntervalEstimator
extends LWLSynchro
implements weka.classifiers.IntervalEstimator
    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).

    Valid options are: 

     -A
  The nearest neighbour search algorithm to use (default: weka.core.neighboursearch.LinearNNSearch).
 
     -K <number of neighbours>
  Set the number of neighbours used to set the kernel bandwidth.
  (default all)
     -U <number of weighting method>
  Set the weighting kernel shape to use. 0=Linear, 1=Epanechnikov,
  2=Tricube, 3=Inverse, 4=Gaussian.
  (default 0 = Linear)
     -D
  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console
     -W
  Full name of base classifier.
  (default: weka.classifiers.trees.DecisionStump)
     Options specific to classifier weka.classifiers.trees.DecisionStump:
 
     -D
  If set, classifier is run in debug mode and
  may output additional info to the console
