      public class CartesianProduct
      extends SimpleBatchFilter

  A filter for performing the Cartesian product of a set of nominal attributes.
  Valid options are:

       -R <col1,col2-col4,...>
        Specifies list of nominal attributes to use to form the product.
        (default none)

        If set, filter is run in debug mode and
        may output additional info to the console

       -do-not-check-capabilities
        If set, filter capabilities are not checked before filter is built
        (use with caution).

    - #### setOptions

          public void setOptions(java.lang.String[] options)
                          throws java.lang.Exception

      Parses a list of options for this object.

      Valid options are:

           -R <col1,col2-col4,...>
            Specifies list of nominal attributes to use to form the product.
            (default none)

           -output-debug-info

      Specified by:
        `setOptions` in interface `OptionHandler`
      Overrides:
        `setOptions` in class `Filter`
      Parameters:
        `options` - the list of options as an array of strings

        a string containing a comma separated list of ranges

    - #### setAttributeIndices

          public void setAttributeIndices(java.lang.String value)

      Sets which attributes are to be used for interquartile calculations and outlier/extreme value detection (only numeric attributes among the selection will be used).
      Parameters:
        `value` - a string representing the list of attributes. Since the string will typically come from a user, attributes are indexed from 1.
        eg: first-3,5,6-last
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if an invalid range list is supplied

    - #### setAttributeIndicesArray
