 * A wrapper class for the libsvm tools (the libsvm classes, typically the jar file, need to be in the classpath to use this classifier).<br/>
 * LibSVM runs faster than SMO since it uses LibSVM to build the SVM classifier.<br/>
 * LibSVM allows users to experiment with One-class SVM, Regressing SVM, and nu-SVM supported by LibSVM tool. LibSVM reports many useful statistics about LibSVM classifier (e.g., confusion matrix,precision, recall, ROC score, etc.).<br/>
