Monte Carlo Simulation of Consistency Using 100,000 Runs.

Notes: We found 0% consistency errors, not surprisingly, for binary problems. The ISVM is also consistent for L = 3, and then it becomes inconsistent. Note that the probability of having a harder problem increases with the number of classes.
