%TQDC Trade-off Quadratic Discriminant (Regularized Bayes Normal Classifier)
%
%   W = TQDC(A,ALF,R,S,DIM)
%
% INPUT
%   A   NxK dataset (N points in a K-dimensional space)
%   ALF Trade-off parameter, ALF in [0,1] (optional; default: ALF = 0.1)
%   R,S Additional regularization parameters, 0 <= R,S <= 1
%       (optional; default: no regularization, i.e. R,S = 0)
%   DIM Dimension of subspace structure in covariance matrix (default: K)
%
% OUTPUT
%   W   Quadratic Bayes Normal Classifier mapping
%
% DESCRIPTION
% Computation of the quadratic classifier between the classes of the dataset
% A assuming normal densities. Each class covariance matrix Gi (i=1..C) is
% modeled as a convex combination between the original class covariance Gi and
% the diagonal marix Gdiag retrieved from the overall weighted (by priors)
% covariance matrix. So,
%     Gi = (1-ALF)*Gi + ALF*Gdiag
% If ALF=0, then you will get QDC.
% If ALF=1, then you will get NMSC.
%
% R and S (0 <= R,S <= 1) are additional parameters used for regularizing the
% resulting covariance matrices by
%     Gi = (1-R-S)*Gi + R*diag(diag(Gi)) + S*mean(diag(Gi))*eye(size(Gi,1))
% This covariance matrix is then decomposed as Gi = W*W' + sigma^2 * eye(K),
% where W is a KxM matrix containing the M leading principal components.
%
% The use of soft labels is supported. The classification A*W is computed by
% NORMAL_MAP.
%
% DEFAULT
% ALF = 0.1
% R   = 0
% S   = 0
% DIM = K (data dimension)

% EXAMPLES
% PREX_MCPLOT, PREX_PLOTC.
