/**
 * Class for handling an instance. All values (numeric, date, nominal, string
 * or relational) are internally stored as floating-point numbers. If an
 * attribute is nominal (or a string or relational), the stored value is the
 * index of the corresponding nominal (or string or relational) value in the
 * attribute's definition. We have chosen this approach in favor of a more
 * elegant object-oriented approach because it is much faster. <p>
 *
 * Typical usage (code from the main() method of this class): <p>
 *
 * <code>
 * ... <br>
 *      
 * // Create empty instance with three attribute values <br>
 * Instance inst = new DenseInstance(3); <br><br>
 *     
 * // Set instance's values for the attributes "length", "weight", and "position"<br>
 * inst.setValue(length, 5.3); <br>
 * inst.setValue(weight, 300); <br>
 * inst.setValue(position, "first"); <br><br>
 *   
 * // Set instance's dataset to be the dataset "race" <br>
 * inst.setDataset(race); <br><br>
 *   
 * // Print the instance <br>
 * System.out.println("The instance: " + inst); <br>
 *
 * ... <br>
 * </code><p>
 *
 * All methods that change an instance's attribute values are safe,
 * ie. a change of an instance's attribute values does not affect any
 * other instances. All methods that change an instance's attribute
 * values clone the attribute value vector before it is changed. If
 * your application heavily modifies instance values, it may be faster
 * to create a new instance from scratch.
