Proposals:Refactoring Statistics Framework 2007 List of Classifier Related Classes

Five major categories

1. Distance function ( similarity measure )
2. Decision rule
3. Classification
4. Class model estimation ( Estimation )
5. Framework: distance, decision rule, class model estimation

Here is the list of ITK classes related to classification
