Density estimation interface
Describe the feature you'd like to have
As discussed in #277, we should have a long term goal of implementing a density estimation API, just as we have a probabilities API.
The reason is that the various (at least kNN-based) differential information estimators estimates densities. We should extract these density estimation steps explicitly, and place them in a unified framework, so that e.g. the differential entropy estimators become wrappers to an underlying density(est, x)
.
I'll have to check whether this can also be used on the order statistics based estimators.
I don't think this should be in the 3.0 milestone, as the 3.0 should to be released sooner rather than later. This also does not sound like a breaking change, which is an argument against 3.0 milestone.
