Fuzzy Lattice Reasoning Classifier (FLR) v5.0
The Fuzzy Lattice Reasoning Classifier uses the notion of Fuzzy Lattices for creating a Reasoning Environment.
The current version can be used for classification using numeric predictors.

Valid options are:

     -R
      Set vigilance parameter rhoa.
      (a float in range [0,1])

     -B
      Set boundaries File
      Note:  The boundaries file is a simple text file containing
      a row with a Fuzzy Lattice defining the metric space.
      For example, the boundaries file could contain the following
      the metric space for the iris dataset:
      [ 4.3  7.9 ]  [ 2.0  4.4 ]  [ 1.0  6.9 ]  [ 0.1  2.5 ]  in Class:  -1
      This lattice just contains the min and max value in each
      dimension.
      In other kind of problems this may not be just a min-max
      operation, but it could contain limits defined by the problem
      itself.
      Thus, this option should be set by the user.
      If ommited, the metric space used contains the mins and maxs
      of the training split.
