%EMC EM Classifier using semi-supervised data
%
%   W = EMC(A,B,CLASSF,LABTYPE,FID)
%   W = A*EMC([],B,CLASSF,LABTYPE,FID)
%
% INPUT
%   A       Labeled dataset used for training
%   B       Additional unlabeled dataset
%   CLASSF  Untrained classifier (default QDC)
%   LABTYPE Label type to be used (crisp (default) or soft)
%   FID     File ID to write progress to (default [], see PRPROGRESS)
%
% OUTPUT
%   W      Trained classifier
%
% DESCRIPTION
% Using the EM algorithm the classifier CLASSF is used iteratively
% on the joint dataset [A;B]. In each step the labels of A are reset
% to their initial values. Initial labels in B are neglected.
% Labels of LABTYPE 'soft' are not supported by all classifiers.
