Cost matrix
++ Package to perform a linear sum assignment even if the cost matrix is rectangular. +
+
+ 
+
This package is the implementation of Jonker-Volgenant shortest +augmenting path algorithm based on the publication On implementing 2D rectangular assignment algorithms
+If the number of rows is <= the number of columns, then every row is assigned to one column; otherwise every column is assigned to one row. The assignment minimizes the sum of the assigned elements.

+rowAssignments contains the index of the column assigned to each element in the rows (experimental).
columnAssignments contains the index of the row assigned to each element in the columns. So the first element in predicted is assigned to third element in experimental.
+dualVariableForColumns and dualVariableForRows are the Lagrange multipliers or dual variables.
+gain the sum of the elements in the cost matrix.
