Detailed Description

Multiple valley shaped curve function.

Its functional form f(x) is : sum (valley( (x - mean[i]) / sigma[i] ) ) over i from 0 to the number of target classes where valley(x) = 1 - 1 / (1 + x^2 / 3)

The plotting of the function return shows multiple lowest points at each mean[i] position. There are two more important shape parameters for this function, higher-bound and lower-bound. Upper-bound will be highest mean value among target classes' means + its sigma value * 9, and lower-bound will be lowest mean value among target classes' means - its sigma value * 9

For example, if there are two target classes with their means at 4 and 6. The plotting may look like the following:

| |********* ****** | * * | * * * | * * * * | * * * * | * * * * | * * ---+-----+------*------*------- | 2 4 6 |

This is a part of the bias correction methods and implementaion that was initially developed and implemented by Martin Styner, Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his colleagues.
