计算样本点到支持向量点间的距离，结果存储到buffer中，以线性核函数为例
从上面的分析能够看出。假设不更改rho或者alpha的符号，计算的是-rho+w*x的结果，大于0表示负样本，小于0表示正样本；因此在HOGDescriptor中须要将alpha更改符号。直接保存rho就可以，这样给出的结果rho-alpha*x。大于0表示正样本。
w=alpha*sv; alpha中存放每一个支持向量的权重，sv表示每一个支持向量，w为加权后的支持向量

{
calc_non_rbf_base( vcount, var_count, vecs, another, results, 1, 0 );
}
vcount表示支持向量的个数，也就是位于正负样本分界面上的正负样本总数
var_count表示样本的特征维度
vecs表示支持向量。也就是位于正负样本分解面上的正负样本
another表示測试样本
result表示对于每一个支持向量的累加结果值

const float* another, Qfloat* results,
double alpha, double beta )

总结：
1） predict函数首先计算測试样本到每一个支持向量sv[j]之间的距离。然后乘以每一个支持向量的权重alpha[i]结果得到一个数，该值减去rho。假设大于0表示为负样本，否则为正样本
2） 对于二分类使用balanced=true的train_auto而言，负样本标签必须为0，这样就能够通过统计正负样本的比例而得到一个较好的平衡结果
