%DISRC Dissimilarity based classifier by distance ranking
%
%       W = disrc(A)
%       W = A*disrc
%
% A should be a dissimilarity based dataset with class labels as
% feature labels. The classifier W is based on distance ranking.
% A new dataset B defined by dissimilarities to the same representation
% set A is classified by D = B*W by comparing the dissimilarities in B
% with the ranked dissimilarities in A for each object in the
% representation set separately. The columns in D yield for each
% object in the representation set a distance such that D*classc
% generates for these objects the ranked based probabilities.
%
% Formally W is a set of parallel mappings, so B*W*classd combines
% them by assigning objects to the class with the highest probability.
% Other combiners may be used as well, e.g. B*W*classc*prodc,
% combining all probabilities by the product rule.
%
% See mappings, classc, classd.
