_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Construct an initial codebook for LVQ methods.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     lvqinit(x, cl, size, prior, k = 5)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a matrix or data frame of training examples, 'n' by 'p'. 

      cl: the classifications for the training examples. A vector or
          factor of length 'n'. 

    size: the size of the codebook. Defaults to 'min(round(0.4*ng*(ng-1
          + p/2),0), n)' where 'ng' is the number of classes. 

   prior: Probabilities to represent classes in the codebook. Default
          proportions in the training set. 

       k: k used for k-NN test of correct classification. Default is 5. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Selects 'size' examples from the training set without replacement
     with proportions proportional to the prior or the original
     proportions.

_V_a_l_u_e:

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