public class LED24
extends ClassificationGenerator
implements TechnicalInformationHandler

This generator produces data for a display with 7 LEDs. The original output consists of 10 concepts and 7 boolean attributes. Here, in addition to the 7 necessary boolean attributes, 17 other, irrelevant boolean attributes with random values are added to make it harder. By default 10 percent of noise are added to the data.
