%DISMATSEL Forward selection and combination of dissimilarity datasets
%
%               [D,L,E] = DISMATSEL(C)
%
% C is a cell array of labeled datasets being square dissimilarity
% matrices. In a forward selection the best of them according to the
% leave-one-out nearest neighbor error (NNE) are selected and summed. 
% L contains the ranked set of indices of selected matrices. E stores the
% error and D is the sum of the best subset.
