# This file has the code that figures out how each factor in some given Term
# should be coded. This is complicated by dealing with models with categorical
# factors like:
#   1 + a + a:b
# then technically 'a' (which represents the space of vectors that can be
# produced as linear combinations of the dummy coding of the levels of the
# factor a) is collinear with the intercept, and 'a:b' (which represents the
# space of vectors that can be produced as linear combinations of the dummy
# coding *of a new factor whose levels are the cartesian product of a and b)
# is collinear with both 'a' and the intercept.
#
# In such a case, the rule is that we find some way to code each term so that
# the full space of vectors that it represents *is present in the model* BUT
# there is no collinearity between the different terms. In effect, we have to
# choose a set of vectors that spans everything that that term wants to span,
# *except* that part of the vector space which was already spanned by earlier
# terms.

# How? We replace each term with the set of "subterms" that it covers, like
# so:
#   1 -> ()
#   a -> (), a-
#   a:b -> (), a-, b-, a-:b-
# where "-" means "coded so as not to span the intercept". So that example
# above expands to
#   [()] + [() + a-] + [() + a- + b- + a-:b-]
# so we go through from left to right, and for each term we:
#   1) toss out all the subterms that have already been used (this is a simple
#      equality test, no magic)
#   2) simplify the terms that are left, according to rules like
#        () + a- = a+
#      (here + means, "coded to span the intercept")
#   3) use the resulting subterm list as our coding for this term!
# So in the above, we go:
#   (): stays the same, coded as intercept
#   () + a-: reduced to just a-, which is what we code
#   () + a- + b- + a-:b-: reduced to b- + a-:b-, which is simplified to a+:b-.

# This should really be a named tuple, but those don't exist until Python
# 2.6...

#   ignored by this routine.
# 'used_subterms' is a set which records which subterms have previously been
#   used. E.g., a:b has subterms (), a, b, a:b, and if we're processing
#    y ~ a + a:b
#   then by the time we reach a:b, the () and a subterms will have already
#   been used. This is an in/out argument, and should be treated as opaque by
#   callers -- really it is a way for multiple invocations of this routine to
#   talk to each other. Each time it is called, this routine adds the subterms
#   of each factor to this set in place. So the first time this routine is
#   called, pass in an empty set, and then just keep passing the same set to
#   any future calls.

# added back in. These dicts should add columns to the design matrix from left
