 * <p/>
 * <!-- globalinfo-end -->
 * 
 * <!-- options-start --> Valid options are:
 * <p/>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * -X &lt;number of folds&gt;
 *  The number of folds to use for the cross-validation.
 *  (default 10)
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * -D
 * Save raw split evaluator output.
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * -O &lt;file/directory name/path&gt;
 *  The filename where raw output will be stored.
 *  If a directory name is specified then then individual

 *  zipped to the named file. Use in conjuction with -D. (default splitEvalutorOut.zip)
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * -W &lt;class name&gt;
 *  The full class name of a SplitEvaluator.

 * </pre>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * -I &lt;index&gt;
 *  The index of an attribute to output in the

 *  in the test set of a cross validation. if 0
 *  no output (default 0).
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <pre>
 * -P
 *  Add target and prediction columns to the result
