 *
 * ADALINE is one of the first and simplest single layer artificial neural
 * network. The algorithm essentially implements a linear function
 * \f[ f\left(x_0,x_1,x_2,\ldots\right) =
 * \sum_j x_jw_j+\theta
 * \f]
 * where \f$x_j\f$ are the input features of a sample, \f$w_j\f$ are the
 * coefficients of the linear function and \f$\theta\f$ is a constant. If we
 * know the \f$w_j\f$, then for any given set of features, \f$y\f$ can be
 * computed. Computing the \f$w_j\f$ is a supervised learning algorithm wherein
 * a set of features and their corresponding outputs are given and weights are
 * computed using stochastic gradient descent method.
