Epic: Polishing for response to referee report

aimalz commented 7 years ago

I'm collecting things I really need to fix before a proper code release.

[ ] make it easy for users to add formats by making a parametrization class (like scipy.stats.rv_continuous, etc.), with consistent syntax for conversions to replace the using keyword, opens the door for implementing SparsePZ, FlexZBoost formats punting this to a later code release
[x] eliminate qp.PDF.truth in favor of using mix_mod and qp.PDF.first
[ ] rename histogram parametrization to something like piecewise constant or stepfunc to reduce confusion and make the piecewise constant distribution consistent in interpolation, integration, etc.
[ ] remove checking if parametrization exists/calculating with default parameters in favor of exceptions
[ ] find a way around infty for converting quantiles to other parametrizations
[ ] formalize interpolation options ~~and include option for user-defined callable~~ punting this to a later code release
[ ] check for consistent style in documentation
[ ] clean up excessive print statements
[ ] ~~#88~~ punting this to a later code release
[ ] #65
[x] move qp.Ensemble.stack() and other "derived" functions to utils.py instead of within the class and publish demos for the "derived" use cases
[ ] ~~replace qp.PDF.\[insert parametrization format here\]with cleaner dict object~~ punting this to a later code release

This has been partially addressed by #93. Stay tuned for more soon!

I'm closing this issue and moving over to #94 for future development with broader goals.
