%TESTN Error estimate of discriminant for normal distribution.
% 
% 	E = TESTN(W,U,G,N)
% 
% INPUT
%   W  Trained classifier mapping
%   U  C x K dataset with C class means, labels and priors (default: [0 .. 0])
%   G  K x K x C matrix with C class covariance matrices (default: identity)
%   N  Number of test examples (default 10000)
%
% OUTPUT
%   E  Estimated error
%      
% DESCRIPTION
% This routine estimates as good as possible the classification error
% of Gaussian distributed problems with known means and covariances. N
% normally distributed data vectors with means, labels and prior
% probabilities defined by the dataset U (size [C,K]) and covariance
% matrices G (size [K,K,C]) are generated with the specified labels and are
% tested against the discriminant W. The fraction of incorrectly classified
% data vectors is returned. If W is a linear 2-class discriminant and N 
% is not specified, the error is computed analytically.
