function model = adaboost(data,options)
% ADABOOST AdaBoost algorithm.
%
% Synopsis:
%  model = adaboost(data,options)
%
% Description:
%  This function implements the AdaBoost algorithm which
%  produces a classifier composed from a set of weak rules.
%  The weak rules are learned by a weak learner which is
%  specified in options.learner. The task of the weak learner
%  is to produce a rule with weighted error less then 0.5.
%  The Adaboost algorithm calls in each stage the weak learner
%
%     rule{t} = feval(options.learner,weight_data)
%   
%  where the structure weight_data contains
%    .X [dim x num_data] Training vectors.
%    .y [1 x num_data] Labels of training vectos (1 or 2).
%    .D [1 x num_data] Distribution (weights) over training 
%      data which defines the weighted error.
%  
%  The item rule{t}.fun must contain name of function
%  which classifies vector X by 
%   y = feval( rule{t}.fun, X, rule{t}).
%
%  It is assumed that the weak rule responds with labels 
%  1 or 2 (not 1,-1 as used in AdaBoost literature).
%
% Input:
%  data [struct] Input training data:
%   .X [dim x num_data] Training vectors.
%   .y [1 x num_data] Labels of training vectos (1 or 2).
%
%  options [struct] Parameters of the AdaBoost:
%   .learner [string] Name of the weak learner.
%   .max_rules [1x1] Maximal number of weak rules (defaul 100).
%    This paramater defines a stopping condition.
%   .err_bound [1x1] AdaBoost stops if the upper bound on the 
%    empirical error drops below the err_bound (default 0.001).
%   .learner_options Additinal options used when the weak learner
%    is called.
%   .verb [1x1] If 1 then some info is displayed.
%
% Output:
%  model [struct] AdaBoost classifier:
%   .rule [cell 1 x T] Weak classification rules.
%   .Alpha [1 x T] Weights of the rules.
%   .WeightedErr [1 x T] Weighted errors of the weak rules.
%   .Z [1 x T] Normalization constants of the distribution D.
%   .ErrBound [1 x T] Upper bounds on the empirical error.
%
% Example:
%  data = load('riply_trn');
%  options.learner = 'weaklearner';
%  options.max_rules = 100;
%  options.verb = 1;
%  model = adaboost(data,options);
%  figure; ppatterns(data); pboundary(model);
%  figure; hold on; plot(model.ErrBound,'r'); 
%  plot(model.WeightedErr);
