Detailed Description

This is an implementation of the scalar encoder that adapts the min and max of the scalar encoder dynamically.

This is essential to the streaming model of the online prediction framework.

Initialization of an adapive encoder using resolution or radius is not supported; it must be intitialized with n. This n is kept constant while the min and max of the encoder changes.

The adaptive encoder must be have periodic set to false.

The adaptive encoder may be initialized with a minval and maxval or with None for each of these. In the latter case, the min and max are set as the 1st and 99th percentile over a window of the past 100 records.

Note: the sliding window may record duplicates of the values in the dataset, and therefore does not reflect the statistical distribution of the input data and may not be used to calculate the median, mean etc.
