Implements the stochastic variant of the Pegasos (Primal Estimated sub-GrAdient SOlver for SVM) method of Shalev-Shwartz et al. (2007). This implementation globally replaces all missing values and transforms nominal attributes into binary ones. It also normalizes all attributes, so the coefficients in the output are based on the normalized data. For more information, see

Valid options are:
-L <double> The lambda regularization constant (default = 0.0001)
-E <integer> The number of epochs to perform (batch learning only, default = 500)
-N Don't normalize the data
-M Don't replace missing values
