  @defgroup ml Machine Learning

  The Machine Learning Library (MLL) is a set of classes and functions for statistical
  classification, regression, and clustering of data.

  Most of the classification and regression algorithms are implemented as C++ classes. As the
  algorithms have different sets of features (like an ability to handle missing measurements or
  categorical input variables), there is a little common ground between the classes. This common
  ground is defined by the class cv::ml::StatModel that all the other ML classes are derived from.

  See detailed overview here: @ref ml_intro.

          reported when non-numerical values are used.

    The method trains the %SVM model automatically by choosing the optimal parameters C, gamma, p,
    nu, coef0, degree. Parameters are considered optimal when the cross-validation
    estimate of the test set error is minimal.

    If there is no need to optimize a parameter, the corresponding grid step should be set to any

    = 0`, `gammaGrid.minVal`, `gamma_grid.maxVal` as arbitrary numbers. In this case, the value
    `Gamma` is taken for gamma.

    unknown, you may call the function SVM::getDefaultGrid. To generate a grid, for example, for
    gamma, call `SVM::getDefaultGrid(SVM::GAMMA)`.

    will be achieved just by considering every case as normal. To avoid this, the priors can be
