/**
 * An implementation of Generalized Iterative Scaling.  The reference paper
 * for this implementation was Adwait Ratnaparkhi's tech report at the
 * University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Research in Cognitive Science,
 * and is available at ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/ircs/tr/97-08.ps.Z. 
 *
 * The slack parameter used in the above implementation has been removed by default
 * from the computation and a method for updating with Gaussian smoothing has been
 * added per Investigating GIS and Smoothing for Maximum Entropy Taggers, Clark and Curran (2002).  
 * http://acl.ldc.upenn.edu/E/E03/E03-1071.pdf
 * The slack parameter can be used by setting useSlackParameter to true.
 * Gaussian smoothing can be used by setting useGaussianSmoothing to true. 
 * 
 * A prior can be used to train models which converge to the distribution which minimizes the
 * relative entropy between the distribution specified by the empirical constraints of the training
 * data and the specified prior.  By default, the uniform distribution is used as the prior.
