%SETSIG Set signature for pseudo-Euclidean dataset or mapping
%
%   B = SETSIG(A,SIG)
%   B = A*SETSIG([],SIG);
%   V = SETSIG(W,SIG);
%
% INPUT
%   A    Dataset or data matrix (doubles)
%   SIG  Signature, 2-element vector with numbers of positive
%        and negative dimensions, default: all positive
%   W    Pseudo-Euclidean mapping created by PE_EM
%
% OUTPUT
%   B   PE dataset
%   V   PE mapping
%
% DESCRIPTION
% Distances in a PE dataset are computed in a special way, see PE_DISTM
% using the signature of the PE space. This routine stores the signature
% in the user-field of the dataset, so it can be used by any routine that
% needs it. The signature is determined during a pseudo-Euclidean mapping,
% e.g. by PSEM. Datasets applied to such a mapping obtain the signature
% automatically. The signature is a vector of two elements equal to the
% numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues found during the process of
% PE mapping. Their sum should thereby be equal to the dimensionality of
% the space, i.e. the number of features in A.
%
% Note that V = W*SETSIG converts a pseudo-Euclidean mapping W into a
% mapping V to the associated space.
