      public SimpleGA(Object... arguments)
      Initializes the parameters
      Parameters:
      arguments - array of parameters contains ( path, numFeatures, classifierType, selectedClassifierPan, selectionType, crossoverType, mutationType, replacementType, numIteration populationSize, crossoverRate, mutationRate, kFolds) in which path is the path of the project, numFeatures is the number of original features in the dataset, classifierType is the classifier type for evaluating the fitness of a solution, selectedClassifierPan is the selected classifier panel, selectionType is used for selecting parents from the individuals of a population according to their fitness, crossoverType is used for recombining the parents to generate new offsprings based on crossover rate, mutationType is used for mutating new offsprings by changing the value of some genes in them based on mutation rate, replacementType is used for handling populations from one generation to the next generation, numIteration is the maximum number of allowed iterations that algorithm repeated, populationSize is the size of population of candidate solutions, crossoverRate is the probability of crossover operation, mutationRate is the probability of mutation operation, and kFolds is the number of equal sized subsamples that is used in k-fold cross validation
