%    W = PE_KERNELM([],B)
%    K = A*W
%
% INPUT
%   A     Pseudo-Euclidean dataset of size NxK
%   B     Pseudo-Euclidean dataset of size MxK
%
% OUTPUT
%   W     PE mapping
%   K     Kernel matrix, size [N M]
%
% DESCRIPTION
% Computation of a kernel matrix in a pseudo-Euclidean space. The signature
% of this space should be stored in the datasets A and B, see SETSIG.
% K = A*J*B', where J is a diagonal matrix with 1's, followed by -1's.
% J = diag ([ONES(SIG(1),1);  -ONES(SIG(2),1)]);
% The two-element vector SIG stores the signature of the space. This is the
% number of 'positive' dimensions, followed by the number of 'negative'
% dimensions. It is computed by a pseudo-Eucledean embedding, e.g. PSEM,
% and stored in the related mapping and datasets that are projected in this
% space.
%
% The resulting kernel matrix K is indefinite in case A == B. This routine
% may be used in support vector routines and other kernelized procedures.
% Note that most of such routines are not optimal for indefinite kernels.
%
% EXAMPLE
% a = gendatb;                  % generate dataset
% d = a*proxm(a,'m',1);         % compute L1 distance matrix
% w = psem(d);                  % embed in PE space
% b = d*w;                      % project data in this space
% [trainset testset] = gendat(b,0.5);     % split in trainset and testset
% ktrain = pe_kernelm(trainset,trainset); % compute train kernel
% w = svc(ktrain,0);            % compute SV classifier
% ktest = pe_kernelm(testset,trainset);   % compute test kernel
% ktest*w*testc                 % inspect error of testset
