General guidelines

1. Please include a clear list of what you've done
2. For pull requests, please make sure all commits are atomic (i.e., one feature per commit)
3. If you're submitting a new model / feature / module, please include proper documentation and unit tests.
   • See the test.py file in one of the existing modules for examples of unit tests.
   • Documentation is loosely based on the NumPy docstring style. When in doubt, refer to existing examples
