 *      A class describing a 'rule'                                               *
 *      Each internal node of a tree defines a rule from all the parental nodes.  *
 *      A rule consists of at least 2 nodes.                                      *
 *      Input: a decision tree (in the constructor)                               *
 *             its coefficient                                                    *
