This package (will eventually) implement several estimators of the Bayes error rate of a data set for a classification task. The Bayes error rate is a measure of how well the features of the data can discriminate among the classes. It gives the best possible error rate attainable from the data. If the distributions of the classes overlap, then the Bayes error rate must be greater than zero.

There are three parametric estimates: 1. Mahalanobis distance 2. Bhattacharyya distance 3. Chernoff bound

And three non-parametric estimates: 4. Nearest Neighbor 5. Classifier Ensembles 6. Plurality Error
