// In this example, we present a system that places measurement vectors into
// two Gaussian classes. The Figure~\ref{fig:BayesianPluginClassifier} shows
// all the components of the classifier system and the data flow. This system
// differs with the previous k-means clustering algorithms in several
// ways. The biggest difference is that this classifier uses the
// \subdoxygen{Statistics}{GaussianDensityFunction}s as membership functions
// instead of the \subdoxygen{Statistics}{DistanceToCentroidMembershipFunction}.
// Since the membership function is different, the membership function requires
// a different set of parameters, mean vectors and covariance matrices. We
// choose the \subdoxygen{Statistics}{CovarianceSampleFilter} (sample covariance)
// for the estimation algorithms of the two parameters. If we want a more robust
// estimation algorithm, we can replace this estimation algorithm with more
// alternatives without changing other components in the classifier system.
//
// It is a bad idea to use the same sample for test and training
// (parameter estimation) of the parameters. However, for simplicity, in
// this example, we use a sample for test and training.

// We use the \subdoxygen{Statistics}{ListSample} as the sample (test
// and training). The \doxygen{Vector} is our measurement vector
// class. To store measurement vectors into two separate sample
