Evaluates the worth of an attribute by using an SVM classifier. Attributes are ranked by the square of the weight assigned by the SVM. Attribute selection for multiclass problems is handled by ranking attributes for each class seperately using a one-vs-all method and then "dealing" from the top of each pile to give a final ranking.
