+analysis, which is a supervised classification method for multiple classes.
+Various novel optimization approaches to this problem are implemented
+including @dfn{alternating direction method of multipliers} (ADMM),
+@dfn{proximal gradient} (PG) and @dfn{accelerated proximal gradient} (APG).
+Functions for performing cross validation are also supplied along with basic
+prediction and plotting functions.  @dfn{Sparse zero variance
+discriminant} (SZVD) analysis is also included in the package.")
