public class REPTree
extends AbstractClassifier
implements OptionHandler, WeightedInstancesHandler, Drawable, AdditionalMeasureProducer, Sourcable, PartitionGenerator, Randomizable
```
Fast decision tree learner. Builds a decision/regression tree using information gain/variance and prunes it using reduced-error pruning (with backfitting). Only sorts values for numeric attributes once. Missing values are dealt with by splitting the corresponding instances into pieces (i.e. as in C4.5).
Valid options are:
```
 -M <minimum number of instances>
  Set minimum number of instances per leaf (default 2).
 
```
```
 -V <minimum variance for split>
  Set minimum numeric class variance proportion
  of train variance for split (default 1e-3).
 
```
```
 -N <number of folds>
  Number of folds for reduced error pruning (default 3).
 
```
```
 -S <seed>
  Seed for random data shuffling (default 1).
 
```
```
 -P
  No pruning.
 
```
```
 -L
  Maximum tree depth (default -1, no maximum)
 
```
