calculate_convex_indicators

Calculate the intra/inter batch dispersion indicators and their ratio on
convex hulls of a single variable.

Provides methods for analyzing the dispersion of tabular datasets
with batched and ordered samples. Based on convex hull or integrated covariance
Mahalanobis, several indicators are implemented for inter and intra batch dispersion
analysis. It is designed to facilitate robust statistical assessment of data
variability, supporting applications in exploratory data analysis and quality
control, for such datasets as the one found in metabololomics studies.
