public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Entry point for the PlotMatrixMimicDriver application. This method loads input data, configures a simulator for generating simulated data based on the provided novelty value, and writes the simulated data to the specified output file.

Parameters:

args - Command-line arguments passed to the program: args[0] - Path to the input data file (required). args[1] - Path to the output data file where the simulated data will be written (required). args[2] - Number of rows to simulate (integer, required). args[3] - Novelty strength for the simulation (double, required). args[4] - Random seed for simulation reproducibility (long, required).

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the input file does not exist or if arguments are malformed.

Exception - if an error occurs during data loading, simulation, or file writing.
