         <p>
            This page documents library components that are all basically just implementations of 
            mathematical functions or algorithms without any really significant data structures 
            associated with them. So this includes things like checksums, cryptographic hashes, 
            machine learning algorithms, sorting, etc...

            This is a function that you can use to seed data clustering algorithms
            like the <a href="#kkmeans">kkmeans</a> clustering method.  What it 
            does is pick reasonable starting points for clustering by basically
            trying to find a set of points that are all far away from each other.

            This object represents an arbitrary precision unsigned integer.  It's pretty simple.

            to use or anything unusual.  It just goes :)

                  This implementation is done using an array of unsigned shorts.  It is also reference counted.  
                  For further details see the above link.  Also note that kernel_2 should be 
      faster in almost every case so you should really just use that version of the bigint object.

                This is an implementation of the kernel recursive least squares algorithm 
                described in the paper The Kernel Recursive Least Squares Algorithm by Yaakov Engel.
            <p>
                The long and short of this algorithm is that it is an online kernel based 
                regression algorithm.  You give it samples (x,y) and it learns the function
                f(x) == y.  For a detailed description of the algorithm read the above paper.

                This is an implementation of an online algorithm for recursively finding a
                set of linearly independent vectors in a kernel induced feature space.  To 
                use it you decide how large you would like the set to be and then you feed it 
                sample points.

                Each time you present it with a new sample point it either 
                keeps the current set of independent points unchanged, or if the new point 
                is "more linearly independent" than one of the points it already has,  
                it replaces the weakly linearly independent point with the new one.

                This is an implementation of an online algorithm for recursively estimating the
                centroid of a sequence of training points.  It uses the sparsification technique
                described in the paper The Kernel Recursive Least Squares Algorithm by Yaakov Engel.

            <p>
                This object then allows you to compute the distance between the center of mass
                and any test points.  So you can use this object to predict how similar a test
                point is to the data this object has been trained on (larger distances from the
                centroid indicate dissimilarity/anomalous points).

            This is a simple function that takes a range and a value and returns the given
            value if it is within the range.  If it isn't in the range then it returns the  
            end of range value that is closest.

            qsort_array is an implementation of the QuickSort algorithm.  It will sort anything that has an array like

            way sorting is guaranteed to take at most N*log(N) time.
