TRAINCC

Train combining classifier if needed

    W = TRAINCC(A,W,CCLASSF)

Input
 A Training dataset
 W A set of classifiers to be combined
 CCLASSF Combining classifier

Output
 B Combined classifier mapping

Description

The combining classifier CCLASSF is trained by the dataset A*W, if  training is needed. W is typically a set of stacked (operating in the same  feature space) or parallel (operating in different feature spaces;  performed one after another) classifiers to be combined. E.g. if V1, V2 and V3 are base classifiers, then V = [V1,V2,V3,...] is a stacked  classifier and V = [V1;V2;V3;...] is a parallel one. If CCLASSF is one of  the fixed combining rules like MAXC, then training is skipped.

This routine is typically called by combining classifier schemes like  BAGGINGC and BOOSTINGC.
