 * Class for building pace regression linear models and using them for prediction. <br/>
 * <br/>
 * Under regularity conditions, pace regression is provably optimal when the number of coefficients tends to infinity. It consists of a group of estimators that are either overall optimal or optimal under certain conditions.<br/>
 * <br/>
 * The current work of the pace regression theory, and therefore also this implementation, do not handle: <br/>
 * <br/>
 * - missing values <br/>
 * - non-binary nominal attributes <br/>
 * - the case that n - k is small where n is the number of instances and k is the number of coefficients (the threshold used in this implmentation is 20)<br/>
