I was using the Bagging with a large amount of data and it was really slow. I've made some improvements (though it's still pretty slow ;).

The biggest improvement was pulling out the index = attributes.index(attribute) so that it didn't happen over and over again in each loop.

It also seemed like the fitness variable was being used, but I was only using the discrete. I'm happy to put that back if that's not true for continuous

Great stuff -- thanks! A minor nitpick..

result[i] += 1
end.values.inject(0) do |sum, count|
percentage = count.to_f / length
sum + -percentage * Math.log2(percentage)
