%DISNORM Normalization of a dissimilarity matrix
%
%       V = DISNORM(D,OPT)
%   F = E*V
%
% INPUT
%   D    NxN dissimilarity matrix or dataset, which sets the norm
%   E    Matrix to be normalized, e.g. D itself
%       OPT  'max' : maximum dissimilarity is set to 1 by global rescaling
%                  'mean': average dissimilarity is set to 1 by global rescaling (default)
%
% OUTPUT
%   V   Fixed mapping
%   F   Normalized dissimilarity data
%
% DEFAULT
%   OPT = 'mean'
%
% DESCRIPTION
% Operation on dissimilarity matrices, like the computation of classifiers
% in dissimilarity space, may depend on the scaling of the dissimilarities
% (a single scalar for the entire matrix). This routine computes a scaling
% for a giving matrix, e.g. a training set and applies it to other
% matrices, e.g. the same training set or based on a test set.
