%GENRIVER Generate 2D 2-class River data
%
%               A = GENRIVER(N,L,S)
%
% INPUT
%   N    Number of objects in each of the classes (default: [50 50])
%   L    Length of the river, default: L = 1 (i.e. 2 bends)
%   S    Width of uniform class distribution on the river borders,
%        default: S = 1;
%
% OUTPUT
%   A    Generated dataset
%
% Generate a separable 'bending river'-like 2D dataset of two classes.
% Class priors are equal.
%
% EXAMPLE
%  repset = genriver([10 10],4);
%  trainset = genriver([],4);
%  w = proxm(repset,'d');
%  v = w*fisherc(trainset*w);
%  figure; scatterd(trainset); plotc(v)
