```
public class RemoveFolds
extends Filter
implements UnsupervisedFilter, OptionHandler, WeightedAttributesHandler
```
This filter takes a dataset and outputs a specified fold for cross validation. If you want the folds to be stratified use the supervised version.
Valid options are:
```
 -V
  Specifies if inverse of selection is to be output.
 
```
```
 -N <number of folds>
  Specifies number of folds dataset is split into. 
  (default 10)
 
```
```
 -F <fold>
  Specifies which fold is selected. (default 1)
 
```
```
 -S <seed>
  Specifies random number seed. (default 0, no randomizing)
 
```
