The NaN-toolbox has been extended by several important features and
functions. Most notable are:

- - classification and machine learning are supported
- - support of data weighting
- - use of extended accuracy in sumskipnan_mex and covm_mex in order to
reduce possible round-off errors.

The changes justify a change of the major version number, which becomes
now NaN-toolbox v2.0

Specifically, the functions *train_sc()* and *test_sc.m* provide a
number of different classification and machine learning methods,
including Linear (LDA), Quadratic (QDA/MDA) and regularized discriminant
analysis (RDA), Naive Bayes classifier (NBC), augmented NBC (aNBC),
regression and partial least squares (REG/PLS), WienerHopf, some sparse
classifiers, as well as an interface to several SVM classifiers are
implemented.

*classify.m* resembles some functionality of the corresponding functions
from the ML stats-toolbox. However, it is recommended to use *xval.m*
instead, which is a wrapper for using cross-validation. *kappa.m*
estimates the Cohen's kappa coefficient as well as several other
evaluation criteria based on the concordance matrix between the original
and the classified data labels.
