/** \class MaximumRatioDecisionRule
 *  \brief A decision rule that operates as a frequentist's
 *  approximation to Bayes rule.
 *
 * 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 \f$i\f$ if
 * \f$p(x|i) p(i) > p(x|j) p(j)\f$ for all class \f$j\f$. 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 \f$i\f$ if
 * \f$\frac{p(x|i)}{p(x|j)} > \frac{p(j)}{p(i)}\f$ for all class
 * \f$j\f$.
 *
 * A priori values need to be set before calling the Evaluate
 * method. If they are not set, a uniform prior is assumed.
