Stats, linear algebra and einops for xarray

## Installation

To install, run

```
(.venv) $ pip install xarray-einstats
```

See the docs for more [extensive install instructions](https://einstats.python.arviz.org/en/latest/installation.html).

## Overview
As stated in their website:

> xarray makes working with multi-dimensional labeled arrays simple, efficient and fun!

The code is often more verbose, but it is generally because it is clearer and thus less error prone
and more intuitive.
Here are some examples of such trade-off where we believe the increased clarity is worth
the extra characters:


|  numpy  |  xarray  |
|---------|----------|
| `a[2, 5]` | `da.sel(drug="paracetamol", subject=5)` |
| `a.mean(axis=(0, 1))` | `da.mean(dim=("chain", "draw"))` |
| `a.reshape((-1, 10))`  | `da.stack(sample=("chain", "draw"))` |
| `a.transpose(2, 0, 1)` | `da.transpose("drug", "chain", "draw")` |

In some other cases however, using xarray can result in overly verbose code
that often also becomes less clear. `xarray_einstats` provides wrappers
around some numpy and scipy functions (mostly `numpy.linalg` and `scipy.stats`)
and around [einops](https://einops.rocks/) with an api and features adapted to xarray.
