A statistical analysis and data profiling engine in Rust with C FFI bindings.

## Overview

u-insight transforms raw tabular data into actionable statistical insights. It operates in two distinct layers with **opposite assumptions about input data quality**:

```
CSV (raw)
  │
  ├─→ Profiling ─→ "What is the state of this data?"
  │     Tolerates dirty data (missing values, type mismatches expected)
  │
  │   (external preprocessing)
  │
  └─→ Analysis  ─→ "What can we learn from this data?"
        Requires clean numeric data (no NaN, no missing)
```

Built on `u-analytics` (statistical algorithms), `u-numflow` (math primitives).

## Modules

## Quick Start

```rust
use u_insight::csv_parser::CsvParser;
use u_insight::profiling::profile_dataframe;

// 1. Parse CSV
let csv = "name,value,active\nAlice,1.5,true\nBob,2.3,false\nCharlie,3.1,true\n";
let df = CsvParser::new().parse_str(csv).unwrap();

// 2. Profile
let profiles = profile_dataframe(&df);
```

### Clustering

```rust
use u_insight::clustering::{kmeans, dbscan, KMeansConfig, DbscanConfig};

let data = vec![
    vec![0.0, 0.0], vec![0.5, 0.5],
    vec![10.0, 10.0], vec![10.5, 10.5],
];

// K-Means
let km = kmeans(&data, &KMeansConfig::new(2)).unwrap();
assert_eq!(km.k, 2);

// DBSCAN
let db = dbscan(&data, &DbscanConfig::new(1.5, 2)).unwrap();
assert_eq!(db.n_clusters, 2);
```

### Distribution Analysis

```rust
use u_insight::distribution::{distribution_analysis, DistributionConfig};

let data: Vec<f64> = (0..50).map(|i| (i as f64 - 25.0) * 0.2).collect();
let result = distribution_analysis(&data, &DistributionConfig::default()).unwrap();
println!("Normal: {}", result.normality.is_normal);
```

## C# Binding (UInsight)

Install via NuGet — native libraries are bundled automatically:

```bash
dotnet add package UInsight
```

```csharp
using UInsight;

using var client = new InsightClient();
Console.WriteLine(client.GetVersion());

var data = new double[,] { {0,0}, {1,1}, {10,10}, {11,11} };
var result = client.KMeans(data, k: 2);
Console.WriteLine($"K={result.K}, WCSS={result.Wcss:F2}");
```

The binding is in `bindings/csharp/UInsight/` with:

- `Interop/NativeLibrary.cs` — `[LibraryImport]` declarations for all 32 FFI functions
- `Interop/NativeStructs.cs` — `[StructLayout]` mappings for all 20 C structs
- `InsightClient.cs` — High-level managed API (automatic memory management)
- `InsightException.cs` — Error code to exception conversion

## Test Status

357 lib tests + 49 doc-tests = 406 total
0 clippy warnings
Build: lib + cdylib + staticlib
C header: auto-generated via cbindgen (20 structs, 32 functions)
```
