Modules

 Cardinality Estimators
 A collection of methods to estimate the number of unique values contained in the data.
 
 Conjugate Gradient
 Finds the solution to the function \( \boldsymbol Ax = \boldsymbol b \), where \(A\) is a symmetric, positive-definite matrix and \(x\) and \( \boldsymbol b \) are vectors.
 
 Naive Bayes Classification
 Constructs a classification model from a dataset where each attribute independently contributes to the probability that a data point belongs to a category.
 
 Random Sampling
 Provides utility functions for sampling operations.
 
 Support Vector Machines
 Generates support vector machines for classification, regression, and novelty detection.
