+"""Explore waveforms using "snips" - discrete symbols representing audio patterns.
+
+This module provides tools for analyzing audio waveforms by converting them into
+sequences of discrete symbols called "snips". This enables text-like analysis and
+pattern recognition in audio signals.
+
+Main Classes
+------------
+TaggedWaveformAnalysis
+    Core class for unsupervised or supervised waveform analysis using clustering.
+TaggedWaveformAnalysisExtended
+    Extended version with plotting capabilities (requires hum package).
+
+Key Concepts
+------------
+Snips : Discrete audio patterns
+    The waveform is divided into tiles (STFT windows), each tile is converted to a
+    feature vector using dimensionality reduction (PCA/LDA), and then clustered into
+    discrete snips using KMeans. This creates a symbolic representation of audio.
+
+Tiles : Spectral windows
+    Short-time Fourier transform (STFT) windows that capture local spectral content.
+
+Tags : Semantic labels
+    Optional annotations for supervised learning, mapping time segments to categories.
+
+Examples
+--------
+Basic unsupervised analysis:
+
+>>> from peruse import TaggedWaveformAnalysis
+>>> import numpy as np
+>>> wf = np.random.randn(44100)  # 1 second of audio
+>>> twa = TaggedWaveformAnalysis(sr=44100, n_snips=50)
+>>> twa.fit(wf)
+>>> snips = twa.snips_of_wf(wf)
+>>> prob_dist = twa.prob_of_snip
+
+Supervised analysis with tags:
+
+>>> tag_segments = {
+...     'speech': [(0.0, 1.5), (3.0, 4.5)],
+...     'music': [(1.5, 3.0)],
+...     'silence': [(4.5, 5.0)]
+... }
+>>> twa = TaggedWaveformAnalysis(sr=44100)
+>>> twa.fit(wf, annots_for_tag=tag_segments)
+>>> tag_probs = twa.tag_prob_for_snip  # Probability of each tag for each snip

+
+    This class implements a pipeline for audio analysis that:
+    1. Converts audio waveforms to spectrograms (tiles)

+    3. Clusters the feature vectors into discrete "snips" using KMeans

+
+    Snips are discrete symbols representing audio patterns, enabling text-like analysis
+    of audio signals. This approach supports both unsupervised exploration and supervised
+    classification when tags are provided.

+    Parameters
+    ----------

+        Percentile for k-nearest neighbors calculation.
