/// \brief Kernel Gram matrix

/// \par
/// The KernelMatrix is the most prominent type of matrix
/// for quadratic programming. It provides the Gram matrix
/// of a fixed data set with respect to an inner product
/// implicitly defined by a kernel function.
///
/// \par
/// NOTE: The KernelMatrix class stores pointers to the
/// data, instead of maintaining a copy of the data. Thus,
/// it implicitly assumes that the dataset is not altered
/// during the lifetime of the KernelMatrix object. This
/// condition is ensured as long as the class is used via
/// the various SVM-trainers.
