The reason for this request is, that the class hierarchy is at moment a mixture of a implementation oriented hierarchy and a algorithm family hierarchy.
If adding matrix operations and with that property, algorithms like Gustafson&Kessel and a full expectation maximization algorithm, the hierarchy will
be influenced more strongly by the class hierarchy. So the algorithm family hierarchy is lost any way. Also the algorithms form more or less a
graph structure of similarities rather than a tree structure as the class hierarchy. therefore, the attempt to mask the algorithm family hierarchy
in the class tree of EDMOAL is futile.
