//
// MaximumRatioDecisionRule returns the class label using a Bayesian
// style decision rule. The discriminant scores are evaluated in the
// context of class priors. If the discriminant scores are actual
// conditional probabilites (likelihoods) and the class priors are
// actual a priori class probabilities, then this decision rule operates
// as Bayes rule, returning the class $i$ if
// \begin{equation}
// p(x|i) p(i) > p(x|j) p(j)
// \end{equation}
// for all class $j$. The discriminant scores and priors are not
// required to be true probabilities.
//
// This class is named the MaximumRatioDecisionRule as it can be
// implemented as returning the class $i$ if
// \begin{equation}
// \frac{p(x|i)}{p(x|j)} > \frac{p(j)}{p(i)}
// \end{equation}
// for all class $j$.
//
// We include the header files for the class as well as the header file for
// the \code{std::vector} class that will be the container for the
// discriminant scores.
