function [e, edata, eprior] = gperr(net, x, t)
%GPERR	Evaluate error function for Gaussian Process.
%
%	Description
%	E = GPERR(NET, X, T) takes a Gaussian Process data structure NET
%	together  with a matrix X of input vectors and a matrix T of target
%	vectors, and evaluates the error function E. Each row of X
%	corresponds to one input vector and each row of T corresponds to one
%	target vector.
%
%	[E, EDATA, EPRIOR] = GPERR(NET, X, T) additionally returns the data
%	and hyperprior components of the error, assuming a Gaussian prior on
%	the weights with mean and variance parameters PRMEAN and PRVARIANCE
%	taken from the network data structure NET.
