## Publication Order

The crates must be published in dependency order:

1. **imbalanced-core** (no dependencies)
2. **imbalanced-metrics** (no dependencies)
3. **imbalanced-sampling** (depends on core)
4. **imbalanced-ensemble** (depends on core + sampling)
5. **rust-imbalanced-learn** (depends on all)

## Publication Commands

### Manual Publishing
```bash
# 1. Login to crates.io
cargo login

# 2. Publish in order
cargo publish -p imbalanced-core
cargo publish -p imbalanced-metrics  
cargo publish -p imbalanced-sampling
cargo publish -p imbalanced-ensemble
cargo publish -p rust-imbalanced-learn
```

### Automated Publishing
```bash
# Run the publishing script
./publish.sh
```

## Post-Publication

### Documentation
- docs.rs will automatically generate documentation
- Documentation available at https://docs.rs/{crate-name}

### Distribution
- Crates available at https://crates.io/crates/{crate-name}
- Can be added to projects with `cargo add {crate-name}`

### Usage Example
```toml
[dependencies]
rust-imbalanced-learn = "0.1.0"
ndarray = "0.15"
```

```rust
use rust_imbalanced_learn::prelude::*;
use ndarray::{Array1, Array2};

let smote = SmoteStrategy::new(5);
let config = SmoteConfig::default();
let (x_resampled, y_resampled) = smote.resample(x.view(), y.view(), &config)?;
```

## Quality Assurance

### Performance Benchmarks (M4 Pro)
- SMOTE: 1.11ms for 1K samples (901K samples/sec)
- ADASYN: 3.79ms for 1K samples (264K samples/sec)
- RandomUnderSampler: 19.1μs for 1K samples (52.4M samples/sec)

### Memory Efficiency
