Rank submodule #21

Open CCampJr opened 5 years ago

CCampJr commented 5 years ago

Submodule to estimate rank of the data.

Methods to incorporate (so far):

Implementation considerations

Note that rank approximation is not a trivial task. It's super-easy to get an estimate and seemingly easier to be incorrect. Kind of the reason I didn't incorporate this feature into the 0.3.0 release.

My plan is to create a super class RankEst that all subclasses will inherit. This class will likely incorporate some metrics to describe confidence or error -- not sure.

Questions and comment welcome!
