Hint is a hyperinterval finder
==============================

About
-----
Hint takes a numerical database, samples it and using compression techniques determines an interesting hyperinterval (multi-dimensional interval).
The data is fitted to the following interval form:
[-A-)[-B-](-A-]
where a codelength based on a uniform density on A and B is calculated.
The choice of the splits as model parameters is taken with a uniform prior, which means its cost can be discarded without loss of generality.
This is untrue for comparison to the single uniform density coding [-A-].
Think of the middle interval [-B-] as a luckiness region.
Dependencies
------------
- Python 3 (as 'python')
Usage
-----
Usage information of the bare program is available through
./source/hint.py --help
The wrappers need access to the main program.
One way to achieve that is by calling them as
PYTHONPATH=./source/ ./test/source/<wrapper>.py <arguments>
