// ann_test
//
// This program is a driver for testing and evaluating the ANN library
// for computing approximate nearest neighbors.  It allows the user to
// generate data and query sets of various sizes, dimensions, and
// distributions, to build kd- and bbd-trees of various types, and then
// run queries and outputting various performance statistics.
//
// Overview:
// ---------
// The test program is run as follows:
//
//              ann_test < test_input > test_output
//
// where the test_input file contains a list of directives as described
// below.  Directives consist of a directive name, followed by list of
// arguments (depending on the directive).  Arguments and directives are
// separated by white space (blank, tab, and newline).  String arguments
// are not quoted, and consist of a string of nonwhite chacters.  A
// character "#" denotes a comment.  The following characters up to
// the end of line are ignored.  Comments may only be inserted between
// directives (not within the argument list of a directive).
//
// Basic operations:
// -----------------
// The test program can perform the following operations.  How these
// operations are performed depends on the options which are described
// later.
//
//              Data Generation:
//              ----------------
//              read_data_pts <file>    Create a set of data points whose
//                                                              coordinates are input from file <file>.
//              gen_data_pts                    Create a set of data points whose
//                                                              coordinates are generated from the
//                                                              current point distribution.
//
//              Building the tree:
//              ------------------
//              build_ann                               Generate an approximate nearest neighbor
//                                                              structure for the current data set, using
//                                                              the selected splitting rules.  Any existing
//                                                              tree will be destroyed.
//
//              Query Generation/Searching:
//              ---------------------------
//              read_query_pts <file>   Create a set of query points whose
//                                                              coordinates are input from file <file>.
//              gen_query_pts                   Create a set of query points whose
//                                                              coordinates are generated from the
//                                                              current point distribution.
//              run_queries <string>    Apply nearest neighbor searching to the
//                                                              query points using the approximate nearest
//                                                              neighbor structure and the given search
//                                                              strategy.  Possible strategies are:
//                                                                      standard = standard kd-tree search
//                                                                      priority = priority search
//
//              Miscellaneous:
//              --------------
//              output_label                    Output a label to the output file.
//              dump <file>                             Dump the current structure to given file.
//                                                              (The dump format is explained further in
//                                                              the source file kd_tree.cc.)
//              load <file>                             Load a tree from a data file which was
//                                                              created by the dump operation.  Any
//                                                              existing tree will be destroyed.
//
// Options:
// --------
// How these operations are performed depends on a set of options.
// If an option is not specified, a default value is used. An option
// retains its value until it is set again.  String inputs are not
// enclosed in quotes, and must contain no embedded white space (sorry,
// this is C++'s convention).

//              invoking the brute-force search.
//
//              The number of true nearest neighbors is somewhat larger than
//              the number of nearest neighbors.  This is so that the validation
//              can determine the expected difference in element ranks.
//
//              This procedure is invoked just prior to running queries.  Since
//              the operation takes a long time, it is performed only if needed.
//              In particular, once generated, it will be regenerated only if
//              new query or data points are generated, or if the requested number
//              of true near neighbors or approximate near neighbors has changed.
//
//              To validate fixed-radius searching, we compute two counts, one
//              with the original query radius (trueSqRadius) and the other with
//              a radius shrunken by the error factor (minSqradius).  We then
//              check that the count of points inside the approximate range is
//              between these two bounds.  Because fixed-radius search is
//              allowed to ignore points within the shrunken radius, we only
//              compute exact neighbors within this smaller distance (for we
//              cannot guarantee that we will even visit the other points).

//      doValidation
//              Compares the approximate answers to the k-nearest neighbors
//              against the true nearest neighbors (computed earlier). It is
//              assumed that the true nearest neighbors and indices have been
//              computed earlier.
//
//              First, we check that all the results are within their allowed
//              limits, and generate an internal error, if not.  For the sake of
//              performance evaluation, we also compute the following two
//              quantities for nearest neighbors:
//
//              Average Error
//              -------------
//              The relative error between the distance to a reported nearest
//              neighbor and the true nearest neighbor (of the same rank),
//
//              Rank Error
//              ----------
//              The difference in rank between the reported nearest neighbor and
//              its position (if any) among the true nearest neighbors.  If we
//              cannot find this point among the true nearest neighbors, then
//              it assumed that the rank of the true nearest neighbor is true_nn+1.
//
//              Because of the possibility of duplicate distances, this is computed
//              as follows.  For the j-th reported nearest neighbor, we count the
//              number of true nearest neighbors that are at least this close.  Let
//              this be rnk.  Then the rank error is max(0, j-rnk).  (In the code
//              below, j is an array index and so the first item is 0, not 1.  Thus
//              we take max(0, j+1-rnk) instead.)
//
//              For the results of fixed-radious range count, we verify that the
//              reported number of points in the range lies between the actual
//              number of points in the shrunken and the true search radius.
