/** \class GaussianMembershipFunction
 * \brief GaussianMembershipFunction models class membership through a
 * multivariate Gaussian function.
 *
 * GaussianMembershipFunction is a subclass of MembershipFunctionBase
 * that models class membership (or likelihood) using a multivariate
 * Gaussian function. The mean and covariance structure of the
 * Gaussian are established using the methods SetMean() and
 * SetCovariance(). The mean is a vector-type that is the same
 * vector-type as the measurement vector but guaranteed to have a real
 * element type. For instance, if the measurement type is an
 * Vector<int,3>, then the mean is Vector<double,3>. If the
 * measurement type is a VariableLengthVector<float>, then the mean is
 * VariableLengthVector<double>. In contrast to this behavior, the
 * covariance is always a VariableSizeMatrix<double>.
 *
 * If the covariance is singular or nearly singular, the membership function
 * behaves somewhat like an impulse located at the mean. In this case,
 * we specify the covariance to be a diagonal matrix with large values
 * along the diagonal. This membership function, therefore,
 * will return small but differentiable values everywher and increase
 * sharply near the mean.
