/**
* Class for handling an instance. All values (numeric, date, nominal, string
* or relational) are internally stored as floating-point numbers. If an
* attribute is nominal (or a string or relational), the stored value is the
* index of the corresponding nominal (or string or relational) value in the
* attribute's definition. We have chosen this approach in favor of a more
* elegant object-oriented approach because it is much faster. <p>
*
* Typical usage (code from the main() method of this class): <p>
*
* <code>
* ... <br>
*
* // Create empty instance with three attribute values <br>
* Instance inst = new Instance(3); <br><br>
*
* // Set instance's values for the attributes "length", "weight", and "position"<br>
* inst.setValue(length, 5.3); <br>
* inst.setValue(weight, 300); <br>
* inst.setValue(position, "first"); <br><br>
*
* // Set instance's dataset to be the dataset "race" <br>
* inst.setDataset(race); <br><br>
*
* // Print the instance <br>
* System.out.println("The instance: " + inst); <br>
*
* ... <br>
* </code><p>
*
* All methods that change an instance are safe, ie. a change of an
* instance does not affect any other instances. All methods that
* change an instance's attribute values clone the attribute value
* vector before it is changed. If your application heavily modifies
* instance values, it may be faster to create a new instance from scratch.
