// value predicted by our regression.

m(0) = 5.0; cout << sinc(m(0)) << " " << test(m) << endl;
// The output is as follows:
//0.239389 0.240989
//0.998334 0.999538
//-0.189201 -0.188453
//-0.191785 -0.226516
// The first column is the true value of the sinc function and the second
// column is the output from the rvm estimate.
// Another thing that is worth knowing is that just about everything in dlib is serializable.
// So for example, you can save the test object to disk and recall it later like so:
ofstream fout("saved_function.dat",ios::binary);
serialize(test,fout);
fout.close();
// now lets open that file back up and load the function object it contains
ifstream fin("saved_function.dat",ios::binary);
deserialize(test, fin);
