%KFD Kernel Fisher Discriminant
%
%   W = KFD(K,ALF,BIAS)
%
% INPUT
%   K     NxN kernel or similarity matrix (dataset)
%   ALF   Regularization constant
%   BIAS  Use bias (1) or not (0)
%
% OUTPUT
%   W     Trained Kernel Fisher discriminant
%
% DEFAULT
%   ALF  = 0.0001
%   BIAS = 1
%
% DESCRIPTION
% Finds a Fisher linear discriminant in a kernel-induced space.
% Regularization is necessary.
% Multi-class classifier is trained one-vs-all classes.
