"""
This package is used to encode raw input data into an HTM friendly format. It
supports various formats. The chosen encoder may simply be a unity function,
such that all other operations have been completed, or it may be the full
pre-processing suite. If heavy pre-processing is required, it is advised to do
those steps ahead of time and use the unity encoder.

When encoding data, each input parameter will be used to represent the state of
a column. If the column's state is 1 it is active, otherwise it is inactive.
Synapses will be bound to these columns in a one-to-many relationship. Use this
knowledge very carefully when deciding how to encode your data.

The following shows the modules contained in this package:
