package organization

[jeremymanning]

it'd be nice to organize code in modules and sub-modules, each with a consistent (well-documented!) API so that sub-modules (or modules) may be easily extended and added, along with a defaults specified in the config.ini file under its own section or sub-section:

• plot: contain matplotlib folder for matplotlib plotting, plotly folder for plotly plotting, etc. each folder should contain a plot.py file, an animate.py file, and a stylize.py file
• vectorize: contains code for turning data in different formats into feature vectors. should support pandas dataframes, text data, images, nifti files, wav files, EEG data(?), etc.
• manip: contains code for resampling, smoothing, normalizing, z-scoring, z-transforming, etc.
• align: contains hyperalignment, SRM, and other code for aligning matrix data
• cluster: wrap various packages (e.g. scikit-learn, HDBSCAN) for clustering data into discrete clusters or mixtures of clusters
• reduce: wrap various packages (scikit-learn, UMAP, etc.) for projecting high-dimensional data onto lower-dimensional spaces

A nice way to implement this might be to have a template class for each module (plot, vectorize, manip, align, cluster, reduce) and then define instances of each class for specific sub-modules.
