%MCLASSDC Multi-Class Dissimilarity-based Classifier from Two-Class Discriminants
%
%       W = MCLASSDC(D,CLASSF,MODE)
%
% INPUT
%   D       Dissimilarity dataset
%   CLASSF  Untrained dissimilarity-based classifier
%   MODE        Way of handling multi-class problems: 'SINGLE' or 'MULTI' 
%                       (optional; default: 'SINGLE')
%
% OUTPUT
%   W       Combined classifier
%
% DEFAULT
%   MODE = 'SINGLE'
% 
% DESCRIPTION
% For the default MODE = 'SINGLE', the untrained classifier CLASSF is called to
% compute C classifiers between each of the C classes in the dataset D and
% the remaining C-1 classes. The result is stored into the combined
% classifier W. There is no combining rule added. The default rule, MAXC
% might be replaced by adding one, e.g. W = W*MEANC.
%
% For the MODE = 'MULTI', the untrained classifier CLASSF is trained between 
% all pairs of classes as well as between each class and all other classes.
% This total set of C^2 classifiers is combined by MINC.        The use of soft labels
% is supported.
% The pairwise classifiers are trained by using a representation set based
% on the traing objects of the corresponding classes only (just in case of
% crisp labels). This is the only difference with the use of MCLASSC. 
%
% EXAMPLE
% W = MCLASSDC(DISTM(GENDATM(100)),QDC([],0.01),'MULTI')
