+
+ This is an example illustrating the use of the kernel ridge regression
+ object from the dlib C++ Library.
+
+ This example creates a simple set of data to train on and then shows
+ you how to use the kernel ridge regression tool to find a good decision
+ function that can classify examples in our data set.
+
+
+ The data used in this example will be 2 dimensional data and will
+ come from a distribution where points with a distance less than 13
+ from the origin are labeled +1 and all other points are labeled
+ as -1. All together, the dataset will contain 10201 sample points.
