/**
 * <p>Code Matrix Interface</p>
 * <p>The code matrix handle the problem of how to build a set of binary classifiers for multi-class classification. A row of the code
 * matrix corresponds to a class label and the column a binary classsifer. The cell value at row i and column j can be -1, 0, or +1. -1
 * means the training examples of category i will be used as negative examples for the j-th binary classifier. +1 * means the training
 * examples of category i will be used as positive examples for the j-th binary classifier. O means not used for training. <br><br>
 * More details can be found in the following paper:<br>
 * Allwein, E.L., Schapire, R.E., and Singer, Y., “Reducing multiclass to binary: A unifying approach for margin classifiers,”
 * Journal of Machine Learning Research, 1:113–141, 2000.</p>
