<p>In <a href="https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/pull/747#discussion_r74694664">src/mlpack/core/tree/spill_tree/spill_tree.hpp</a>:</p>
<pre style='color:#555'>&gt; +  typedef MatType Mat;
&gt; +  //! The type of element held in MatType.
&gt; +  typedef typename MatType::elem_type ElemType;
&gt; +  //! The bound type.
&gt; +  typedef typename HyperplaneType&lt;MetricType&gt;::BoundType BoundType;
&gt; +
&gt; + private:
&gt; +  //! The left child node.
&gt; +  SpillTree* left;
&gt; +  //! The right child node.
&gt; +  SpillTree* right;
&gt; +  //! The parent node (NULL if this is the root of the tree).
&gt; +  SpillTree* parent;
&gt; +  //! The number of points of the dataset contained in this node (and its
&gt; +  //! children).
&gt; +  size_t count;
</pre>
<p>Could we avoid this member and just use <code>pointsIndex.n_elem</code>?</p>
