% INPUT	
%   A     Input dataset
%   CRIT  String name of the criterion or untrained mapping 
%           (optional, def= 'maha-s')
%   K     Numner of features to select (optional, def: K=2)
%   T     Validation set (optional)
%   N     Number of cross-validations (optional)
%
% OUTPUT
%   W     Output feature selection mapping
%   R     Matrix with step-by-step results
% 
% DESCRIPTION
% Backward selection of K features by baktracking using the branch 
% and bound procedure on the data set A. CRIT sets the criterion 
% used by the feature evaluation routine FEATEVAL. If the data set T 
% is given, it is used as test set for FEATEVAL. Alternatively a number
% of cross-validations N may be supplied. The resulting W can be used for
% the selecting features of a dataset B by B*W. 
% The selected features are stored in W.DATA and can be found by +W.
% 
% This procedure finds the optimum feature set if a monotoneous 
% criterion is used. The use of a testset does not guarantee that.
