M5Base. Implements base routines for generating M5 Model trees and rules
The original algorithm M5 was invented by R. Quinlan and Yong Wang made improvements.

Valid options are:
-N Use unpruned tree/rules
-U Use unsmoothed predictions
-R Build regression tree/rule rather than a model tree/rule
-M <minimum number of instances> Set minimum number of instances per leaf (default 4)
-L Save instances at the nodes in the tree (for visualization purposes)
