_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Moves examples in a codebook to better represent the training set.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     lvq2(x, cl, codebk, niter = 100 * nrow(codebk$x), alpha = 0.03,
          win = 0.3)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a matrix or data frame of examples 

      cl: a vector or factor of classifications for the examples 

  codebk: a codebook 

   niter: number of iterations 

   alpha: constant for training 

     win: a tolerance for the closeness of the two nearest vectors. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Selects 'niter' examples at random  with replacement, and adjusts
     the nearest two examples in the codebook if one is correct and the
     other incorrect.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A codebook, represented as a list with components 'x' and 'cl'
     giving the examples and classes.
