Description: Scikit-Learn Extensions
        =======================
        
        v0.0.1
        
        Scikit-Learn Extensions (sklearn_extensions) is a single source repository for extensions to [scikit-learn](https://github.com/sklearn/sklearn). It is intended
        to compliment the slower more cautious approach of scikit-learn with regard to adding new predictors and modules, with a 
        separate pip-installable source for sklearn-compatible modules that may not meet those standards. 
        
        In particular, this project is interested in smaller one-off projects, particularly even gists, rather than larger more 
        established ones (such as pylearn2, lifeline, or lightning). Other than larger projects, we will shy away from projects 
        with significant external dependencies (i.e. wrappers around vowpal wabbit or xgboost), and rather prefer more 
        python/numpy/scipy based projects. 
        
        Due to these guiding goals, the modules included here may not be as well tested, production ready, or stable as those included 
        directly in sklearn.  This is pretty much the wild west, test anything that uses this package heavily.

        Installation / Usage
        --------------------
        
        We aim to first support python 3, and are hosted on pypi, so to install just:
         
            pip install sklearn-extensions
        
        Note that the install here will install all underlying packages, and is therefore pretty big.  It is recommended that 
        you do this in a virtualenv.

        TODO
        ----
        
        A number of packages have been identified but not been added yet. As a general rule for identifying potential projects 
        to add to sklearn-extensions, if it cannot be pip-installed: it may be a candidate here

        Contributing
        ------------
        
        If you have an extension that you'd like to add, please submit a pull request and we can throw it in.  A major benefit of
        this package is that we will aim to consolidate requirements among the disparate projects, therefore, for the sake of 
        management, the code for the projects will be replicated here. In the spirit of OSS, we will also aim to contribute any
        meaningful changes back to the original projects as well.
        
        A complete addition of a new package has a few components:
        
         * Actual addition of package into sklearn\_extensions directory
         * Documentation of the included transformers/predictors in the sklearn\_extensions docs
         * An example or two (included in the aforementioned docs as well) in the examples directory
         * A test or two, more if the source package has poor testing coverage

        -------
        
        In most cases, all that sklearn\_extensions does with external projects is include them. All of the projects will remain
        segregated into their own subdirectory, and will carry their original licenses in those subdirectories.
        
        All material specific to this project (specifically any docs, tests, examples or original code) is released under the
