/** Matrix class.

    \ingroup LinearAlgebraModule

    This is the basic class for all linear algebra computations. Matrices are
    stored in a <i>column-major</i> format, i.e. the row index is varying fastest.
    This is the same format as in the lapack and gmm++ libraries, so it will
    be easy to interface these libraries. In fact, if you need optimized
    high performance code, you should use them. The VIGRA linear algebra
    functionality is provided for smaller problems and rapid prototyping
    (no one wants to spend half the day installing a new library just to
    discover that the new algorithm idea didn't work anyway).

    /** \brief Standardize the columns of a matrix according to given <tt>DataPreparationGoals</tt>.

    For every column of the matrix \a A, this function computes mean,
    standard deviation, and norm. It then applies a linear transformation to the values of
    the column according to these statistics and the given <tt>DataPreparationGoals</tt>.
    The result is returned in matrix \a res which must have the same size as \a A.
    Optionally, the transformation applied can also be returned in the matrices \a offset
    and \a scaling (see below for an example how these matrices can be used to standardize
    more data according to the same transformation).

    The following <tt>DataPreparationGoals</tt> are supported:

    <DL>
    <DT><tt>ZeroMean</tt><DD> Subtract the column mean form every column if the values in the column are not constant.
                              Do nothing in a constant column.
    <DT><tt>UnitSum</tt><DD> Scale the columns so that the their sum is one if the sum was initially non-zero.
                              Do nothing in a zero-sum column.
    <DT><tt>UnitVariance</tt><DD> Divide by the column standard deviation if the values in the column are not constant.
                              Do nothing in a constant column.
    <DT><tt>UnitNorm</tt><DD> Divide by the column norm if it is non-zero.
    <DT><tt>ZeroMean | UnitVariance</tt><DD> First subtract the mean and then divide by the standard deviation, unless the
                                             column is constant (in which case the column remains unchanged).
    <DT><tt>ZeroMean | UnitNorm</tt><DD> If the column is non-constant, subtract the mean. Then divide by the norm
                                         of the result if the norm is non-zero.
