One way to represent classifiers. Given classes w1, w2, .., wk and feature vector x, which is in n-dimensional space, the discriminant functions g1(x), g2(x), .., gk(x) where g#(x) maps n-dimensional space to real numbers, are used to make decisions. Decisions are defined as w# if g#(x) >= gj(x) for all j.

Discriminant functions are used to define Decision Surfaces_OldKiwi.
