%REJECT Compute the error-reject trade-off curve
% 
%   E = REJECT(D);
%   E = REJECT(A,W);
%	
% INPUT
%   D   Classification result, D = A*W
%   A   Dataset
%   W   Cell array of trained classifiers
%
% OUTPUT
%   E   Structure storing the error curve and information needed for plotting
%
% DESCRIPTION
% E = REJECT(D) computes the error-reject curve of the classification 
% result D = A*W, in which A is a dataset and W is a classifier. E is 
% a structure storing the error curve in E.ERROR. Use PLOTE(E) for 
% plotting the result.
%
%	E = REJECT(A,W) computes a set of error-reject curves for all trained 
% classifiers stored in the cell array W.
%
% EXAMPLES
% A - training set, B - test set:
% D = B*NMC(A); E = REJECT(D); PLOTE(E);   % Plots a single curve
% E = REJECT(B,A*{NMC,UDC,QDC}); PLOTE(E); % Plots 3 curves
