            This object represents a weighted sum of sample points in a kernel induced
            feature space.  It can be used to kernelize any algorithm that requires only
            the ability to perform vector addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication,
            and inner products.  It uses the sparsification technique described in the 
            paper The Kernel Recursive Least Squares Algorithm by Yaakov Engel.

            To understand the code it would also be useful to consult page 114 of the book 
            Kernel Methods for Pattern Analysis by Taylor and Cristianini as well as page 554 
            (particularly equation 18.31) of the book Learning with Kernels by Scholkopf and 
            Smola.  Everything you really need to know is in the Engel paper.  But the other 
            books help give more perspective on the issues involved.

                - if (dictionary.size() == my_max_dictionary_size && my_remove_oldest_first == false) then
                    - for all valid 0 < i < dictionary.size():
                        - Let STRENGTHS[i] == the delta you would get for dictionary[i] (i.e. Approximately 
                          Linearly Dependent value) if you removed dictionary[i] from this object and then 
                          tried to add it back in.
                        - min_strength == the minimum value from STRENGTHS
                        - min_vect_idx == the index of the element in STRENGTHS with the smallest value
