public class GridSearch
extends RandomizableSingleClassifierEnhancer
implements AdditionalMeasureProducer, Summarizable
```
Performs a grid search of parameter pairs for the a classifier (Y-axis, default is LinearRegression with the "Ridge" parameter) and the PLSFilter (X-axis, "# of Components") and chooses the best pair found for the actual predicting.

The initial grid is worked on with 2-fold CV to determine the values of the parameter pairs for the selected type of evaluation (e.g., accuracy). The best point in the grid is then taken and a 10-fold CV is performed with the adjacent parameter pairs. If a better pair is found, then this will act as new center and another 10-fold CV will be performed (kind of hill-climbing). This process is repeated until no better pair is found or the best pair is on the border of the grid.
In case the best pair is on the border, one can let GridSearch automatically extend the grid and continue the search. Check out the properties 'gridIsExtendable' (option '-extend-grid') and 'maxGridExtensions' (option '-max-grid-extensions <num>').

GridSearch can handle doubles, integers (values are just cast to int) and booleans (0 is false, otherwise true). float, char and long are supported as well.

The best filter/classifier setup can be accessed after the buildClassifier call via the getBestFilter/getBestClassifier methods.
Note on the implementation: after the data has been passed through the filter, a default NumericCleaner filter is applied to the data in order to avoid numbers that are getting too small and might produce NaNs in other schemes.
Valid options are:
```
 -E <CC|RMSE|RRSE|MAE|RAE|COMB|ACC|KAP>

  CC = Correlation coefficient

Examples:
- Optimizing SMO with RBFKernel (C and gamma)
  - Set the evaluation to Accuracy.
  - Set the filter to weka.filters.AllFilter since we don't need any special data processing and we don't optimize the filter in this case (data gets always passed through filter!).
  - Set weka.classifiers.functions.SMO as classifier with weka.classifiers.functions.supportVector.RBFKernel as kernel.
  - Set the XProperty to "classifier.c", XMin to "1", XMax to "16", XStep to "1" and the XExpression to "I". This will test the "C" parameter of SMO for the values from 1 to 16.
  - Set the YProperty to "classifier.kernel.gamma", YMin to "-5", YMax to "2", YStep to "1" YBase to "10" and YExpression to "pow(BASE,I)". This will test the gamma of the RBFKernel with the values 10^-5, 10^-4,..,10^2.
- Optimizing PLSFilter with LinearRegression (# of components and ridge) - default setup
  - Set the evaluation to Correlation coefficient.
  - Set the filter to weka.filters.supervised.attribute.PLSFilter.
  - Set weka.classifiers.functions.LinearRegression as classifier and use no attribute selection and no elimination of colinear attributes.
  - Set the XProperty to "filter.numComponents", XMin to "5", XMax to "20" (this depends heavily on your dataset, should be no more than the number of attributes!), XStep to "1" and XExpression to "I". This will test the number of components the PLSFilter will produce from 5 to 20.
  - Set the YProperty to "classifier.ridge", XMin to "-10", XMax to "5", YStep to "1" and YExpression to "pow(BASE,I)". This will try ridge parameters from 10^-10 to 10^5.
General notes:
- Turn the debug flag on in order to see some progress output in the console
- If you want to view the fitness landscape that GridSearch explores, select a log file. This log will then contain Gnuplot data and script block for viewing the landscape. Just copy paste those blocks into files named accordingly and run Gnuplot with them.
