  In this coursework we will analyze the benefits of different face recognition methods.
  On one hand we will analyze PCA, Principal Components Analysis. This method
  allows dimensionality reduction, obtaining a generative subspace which is very reliable for 
  face reconstruction.

  On the other hand LDA, Linear Discriminant Analysis, allows to perform a very reliable classification,
  generating a discriminative subspace, in which the separation between classes is easier to recognize.

  In the final part we will analyze the benefits of using a combined version of the two methods using FIsherfaces.
  As we will see, the PCA-LDA ensemble will obtain much more accurate results with a very high speed of computation.
