%KSVO_NU Kernel Support Vector Optimizer: NU algorithm
%
%   [V,J,C,REG] = KSVO_NU(K,Y,NU,PD)
%
% INPUT
%   K   Kernel matrix
%   Y   Label list consisting of -1/+1
%   NU  Regularization parameter (0 < NU < 1):
%       expected fraction of support vectors (optional; default: 0.25)
%   R   Parameter: -1,0,1,2
%       -1 or 'flip',   Changes the kernel by flipping negative eigenvalues to
%          positive
%        0 or '',       Uses the kernel as it is
%        1 or 'reg',    Checks positive definiteness and regularizes the kernel by
%          adding the minimal constant in the form of 10^i to the diagonal
%        2 or 'lamreg', Checks positive definiteness and regularizes the kernel by
%          adding the minimal constant to the diagonal (equal to the magnitude of
%          the smallest negative eigenvalue)
%       (optional; default: 0, do not change the kernel)
%
% OUTPUT
%   V   Vector of weights for the support vectors
%   J   Index vector pointing to the support vectors
%   T   Transformation matrix for the test kernel; to be used in testing
%   REG Regularization parameter added to the diagonal, if used (R=1,2); a vector
%       of eigenvalues of K (R=-1), or -1 if not checked (R=0)
%
% DESCRIPTION
% A low level routine that optimizes the set of support vectors for a two-class
% classification problem based on the kernel or similarity matrix K.
% KSVO_NU is called directly from KSVC_NU. The labels Y should indicate the
% two classes by +1 and -1. Optimization is done by a quadratic programming.
% If available, the QLD function is used for a positive definite kernel,
% otherwise an appropriate Matlab routine.
%
% NU is bounded from above by NU_MAX = (1 - ABS(Lp-Lm)/(Lp+Lm)), where Lp (Lm)
% is the number of positive (negative) samples. If NU > NU_MAX is supplied,
% it will be changed to the NU_MAX.
%
% If NU is less than some NU_MIN which depends on the overlap between the
% classes, the algorithm will typically take long time to converge (if at all).
% So, it is advisable to set NU larger than the expected overlap.
% Weights V are rescaled in such a way as if returned by KSVO with the
% parameter C.
