That's a good point. I realised a few weeks ago that I probably need
to extend the framework so that new subjects can be added more easily.
Essentially, when you compute the initial dot-products, you obtain
X1*X1'. You actually want [X1; X2]*[X1; X2]', where X2 contains data
from your new subject(s).
X = [X1; X2];
% XX = X*X';
XX = [X1*X1' X1*X2'; (X1*X2')' X2*X2'];
