How to read the output:

Classes: 1.0 44.444% 120 means, there are 120 samples (44.444% of all samples) in the class with the label 1.0

Features: 1 97.407% 263 7 means, that 263 samples contain the feature and 7 samples don't contain it. So 97.407% of the samples contain feature 1. If all samples contain the feature the number of samples that are missing the feature is omited.

The last four numbers show the minimum, average, maximum and variance of the feature values.

The last line is a summary for all the features. The count%, minimum, average, maximum and variance are averaged.
