7. Generating Non-stratified Folds
When I am using k-fold cross validation, can I get each of the folds
from WEKA?
Stratified folds means every fold has every class of your dataset with
maintaining class ratio.

11. Outliers and Extreme Values
Is this possible to find out outliers and extreme values that are hidden in
dataset?
InterQuartileRange
