-Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:
+2.Draagwijdte van de uit hoofde van de licentie verleende rechten 
+De licentiegever verleent u hierbij een wereldwijde, royaltyvrije, niet-exclusieve, voor een sublicentie in aanmerking komende licentie, om voor de duur van het aan het oorspronkelijke werk verbonden auteursrecht, het volgende te doen: 
+—  het werk in alle omstandigheden en voor ongeacht welk doel te gebruiken; 
+—  het werk te verveelvoudigen; 
+—  het werk te wijzigen en op grond van het werk bewerkingen te ontwikkelen; 
+—  het werk aan het publiek mede te delen, waaronder het recht om het werk of kopieën ervan aan het publiek ter beschikking te stellen of te vertonen, en het werk, in voorkomend geval, in het openbaar uit te voeren;
+—  het werk of kopieën ervan te verspreiden; 
+—  het werk of kopieën ervan uit te lenen en te verhuren; 
+—  de rechten op het werk of op kopieën ervan in sublicentie te geven. 
+Deze rechten kunnen worden uitgeoefend met gebruikmaking van alle thans bekende of nog uit te vinden media, dragers en formaten, voor zover het toepasselijke recht dit toestaat. In de landen waar immateriële rechten van toepassing zijn, doet de licentiegever afstand van zijn recht op uitoefening van zijn immateriële rechten in de mate die door het toepasselijke recht wordt toegestaan teneinde een doeltreffende uitoefening van de bovenvermelde in licentie gegeven economische rechten mogelijk te maken. De licentiegever verleent de licentiehouder een royaltyvrij, niet-exclusief gebruiksrecht op alle octrooien van de licentiegever, voor zover dit noodzakelijk is om de uit hoofde van deze licentie verleende rechten op het werk te gebruiken. 
 
-The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
+3.Mededeling van de broncode 
+De licentiegever kan het werk verstrekken in zijn broncode of als uitvoerbare code. Indien het werk als uitvoerbare code wordt verstrekt, verstrekt de licentiegever bij elke door hem verspreide kopie van het werk tevens een machinaal leesbare kopie van de broncode van het werk of geeft hij in een mededeling, volgende op de bij het werk gevoegde auteursrechtelijke kennisgeving, de plaats aan waar de broncode gemakkelijk en vrij toegankelijk is, zolang de licentiegever het werk blijft verspreiden of mededelen. 
 
-THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
+4.Beperkingen van het auteursrecht 
+Geen enkele bepaling in deze licentie heeft ten doel de licentiehouder het recht te ontnemen een beroep te doen op een uitzondering op of een beperking van de exclusieve rechten van de rechthebbenden op het werk, of op de uitputting van die rechten of andere toepasselijke beperkingen daarvan. 
+
+5.Verplichtingen van de licentiehouder 
+De verlening van de bovenvermelde rechten is onderworpen aan een aantal aan de licentiehouder opgelegde beperkingen en verplichtingen. Het gaat om de onderstaande verplichtingen.
+
+Attributierecht: de licentiehouder moet alle auteurs-, octrooi- of merkenrechtelijke kennisgevingen onverlet laten alsook alle kennisgevingen die naar de licentie en de afwijzing van garanties verwijzen. De licentiehouder moet een afschrift van deze kennisgevingen en een afschrift van de licentie bij elke kopie van het werk voegen die hij verspreidt of mededeelt. De licentiehouder moet in elke bewerking duidelijk aangeven dat het werk is gewijzigd, en eveneens de datum van wijziging vermelden. 
+
+Copyleftclausule: wanneer de licentiehouder kopieën van het oorspronkelijke werk of bewerkingen verspreidt of mededeelt, geschiedt die verspreiding of mededeling onder de voorwaarden van deze licentie of van een latere versie van deze licentie, tenzij het oorspronkelijke werk uitdrukkelijk alleen onder deze versie van de licentie wordt verspreid — bijvoorbeeld door de mededeling „alleen EUPL v. 1.2”. De licentiehouder (die licentiegever wordt) kan met betrekking tot het werk of de bewerkingen geen aanvullende bepalingen of voorwaarden opleggen of stellen die de voorwaarden van de licentie wijzigen of beperken. 
+
+Verenigbaarheidsclausule: wanneer de licentiehouder bewerkingen of kopieën ervan verspreidt of mededeelt die zijn gebaseerd op het werk en op een ander werk dat uit hoofde van een verenigbare licentie in licentie is gegeven, kan die verspreiding of mededeling geschieden onder de voorwaarden van deze verenigbare licentie. Voor de toepassing van deze clausule wordt onder „verenigbare licentie” verstaan, de licenties die in het aanhangsel bij deze licentie zijn opgesomd. Indien de verplichtingen van de licentiehouder uit hoofde van de verenigbare licentie in strijd zijn met diens verplichtingen uit hoofde van deze licentie, hebben de verplichtingen van de verenigbare licentie voorrang. 
+
+Verstrekking van de broncode: bij de verspreiding of mededeling van kopieën van het werk verstrekt de licentiehouder een machinaal leesbare kopie van de broncode of geeft hij aan waar deze broncode gemakkelijk en vrij toegankelijk is, zolang de licentiehouder het werk blijft verspreiden of mededelen. 
+
+Juridische bescherming: deze licentie verleent geen toestemming om handelsnamen, handelsmerken, dienstmerken of namen van de licentiegever te gebruiken, behalve wanneer dit op grond van een redelijk en normaal gebruik noodzakelijk is om de oorsprong van het werk te beschrijven en de inhoud van de auteursrechtelijke kennisgeving te herhalen.
+
+6.Auteursketen 
+De oorspronkelijke licentiegever garandeert dat hij houder is van het hierbij verleende auteursrecht op het oorspronkelijke werk dan wel dat dit hem in licentie is gegeven en dat hij de bevoegdheid heeft de licentie te verlenen. Elke bewerker garandeert dat hij houder is van het auteursrecht op de door hem aan het werk aangebrachte wijzigingen dan wel dat dit hem in licentie is gegeven en dat hij de bevoegdheid heeft de licentie te verlenen. Telkens wanneer u de licentie aanvaardt, verlenen de oorspronkelijke licentiegever en de opeenvolgende bewerkers u een licentie op hun bijdragen aan het werk onder de voorwaarden van deze licentie. 
+
+7.Uitsluiting van garantie 
+Het werk is een werk in ontwikkeling, dat voortdurend door vele bewerkers wordt verbeterd. Het is een onvoltooid werk, dat bijgevolg nog tekortkomingen of programmeerfouten („bugs”) kan vertonen, die onlosmakelijk verbonden zijn met dit soort ontwikkeling. Om die reden wordt het werk op grond van de licentie verstrekt „zoals het is” en zonder enige garantie met betrekking tot het werk te geven, met inbegrip van, maar niet beperkt tot garanties met betrekking tot de verhandelbaarheid, de geschiktheid voor een specifiek doel, de afwezigheid van tekortkomingen of fouten, de nauwkeurigheid, de eerbiediging van andere intellectuele-eigendomsrechten dan het in artikel 6 van deze licentie bedoelde auteursrecht. Deze uitsluiting van garantie is een essentieel onderdeel van de licentie en een voorwaarde voor de verlening van rechten op het werk. 
+
+8.Uitsluiting van aansprakelijkheid 
+Behoudens in het geval van een opzettelijke fout of directe schade aan natuurlijke personen, is de licentiegever in geen enkel geval aansprakelijk voor ongeacht welke directe of indirecte, materiële of immateriële schade die voortvloeit uit de licentie of het gebruik van het werk, met inbegrip van, maar niet beperkt tot schade als gevolg van het verlies van goodwill, verloren werkuren, een computerdefect of computerfout, het verlies van gegevens, of enige andere commerciële schade, zelfs indien de licentiegever werd gewezen op de mogelijkheid van dergelijke schade. De licentiegever is echter aansprakelijk op grond van de wetgeving inzake productaansprakelijkheid, voor zover deze wetgeving op het werk van toepassing is. 
+
+9.Aanvullende overeenkomsten 
+Bij de verspreiding van het werk kunt u ervoor kiezen een aanvullende overeenkomst te sluiten, waarin de verplichtingen of diensten overeenkomstig deze licentie worden omschreven. Indien deze verplichtingen worden aanvaard, kunt u echter alleen in eigen naam en onder eigen verantwoordelijkheid handelen, en dus niet in naam van de oorspronkelijke licentiegever of een bewerker, en kunt u voorts alleen handelen indien u ermee instemt alle bewerkers schadeloos te stellen, te verdedigen of te vrijwaren met betrekking tot de aansprakelijkheid van of vorderingen tegen deze bewerkers op grond van het feit dat u een garantie of aanvullende aansprakelijkheid hebt aanvaard. 
+
+10.Aanvaarding van de licentie 
+De bepalingen van deze licentie kunnen worden aanvaard door te klikken op het pictogram „Ik ga akkoord”, dat zich bevindt onderaan het venster waarin de tekst van deze licentie is weergegeven, of door overeenkomstig de toepasselijke wetsbepalingen op een soortgelijke wijze met de licentie in te stemmen. Door op dat pictogram te klikken geeft u aan dat u deze licentie en alle voorwaarden ervan ondubbelzinnig en onherroepelijk aanvaardt. Evenzo aanvaardt u onherroepelijk deze licentie en alle voorwaarden ervan door uitoefening van de rechten die u in artikel 2 van deze licentie zijn verleend, zoals het gebruik van het werk, het creëren door u van een bewerking of de verspreiding of mededeling door u van het werk of kopieën ervan. 
+
+11.Voorlichting van het publiek 
+Indien u het werk verspreidt of mededeelt door middel van elektronische communicatiemiddelen (bijvoorbeeld door voor te stellen het werk op afstand te downloaden), moet het distributiekanaal of het medium (bijvoorbeeld een website) het publiek ten minste de gegevens verschaffen die door het toepasselijke recht zijn voorgeschreven met betrekking tot de licentiegever, de licentie en de wijze waarop deze kan worden geraadpleegd, gesloten, opgeslagen en gereproduceerd door de licentiehouder.
+
+12.Einde van de licentie 
+De licentie en de uit hoofde daarvan verleende rechten eindigen automatisch bij elke inbreuk door de licentiehouder op de voorwaarden van de licentie. Dit einde beëindigt niet de licenties van personen die het werk van de licentiehouder krachtens de licentie hebben ontvangen, mits deze personen zich volledig aan de licentie houden. 
+
+13.Overige 
+Onverminderd artikel 9 vormt de licentie de gehele overeenkomst tussen de partijen met betrekking tot het werk. Indien een bepaling van de licentie volgens het toepasselijke recht ongeldig is of niet uitvoerbaar is, doet dit geen afbreuk aan de geldigheid of uitvoerbaarheid van de licentie in haar geheel. Deze bepaling dient zodanig te worden uitgelegd of gewijzigd dat zij geldig en uitvoerbaar wordt. De Europese Commissie kan, voor zover dit noodzakelijk en redelijk is, versies in andere talen of nieuwe versies van deze licentie of geactualiseerde versies van dit aanhangsel publiceren, zonder de draagwijdte van de uit hoofde van de licentie verleende rechten te beperken. Nieuwe versies van de licentie zullen worden gepubliceerd met een uniek versienummer. Alle door de Europese Commissie goedgekeurde taalversies van deze licentie hebben dezelfde waarde. De partijen kunnen zich beroepen op de taalversie van hun keuze. 
+
+14.Bevoegd gerecht
+Onverminderd specifieke overeenkomsten tussen de partijen, 
+—  vallen alle geschillen tussen de instellingen, organen en instanties van de Europese Unie, als licentiegeefster, en een licentiehouder in verband met de uitlegging van deze licentie onder de bevoegdheid van het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie, conform artikel 272 van het Verdrag betreffende de werking van de Europese Unie, 
+—  vallen alle geschillen tussen andere partijen in verband met de uitlegging van deze licentie onder de uitsluitende bevoegdheid van het bevoegde gerecht van de plaats waar de licentiegever is gevestigd of zijn voornaamste activiteit uitoefent. 
+
+15.Toepasselijk recht 
+Onverminderd specifieke overeenkomsten tussen de partijen, 
+—  wordt deze licentie beheerst door het recht van de lidstaat van de Europese Unie waar de licentiegever zijn statutaire zetel, verblijfplaats of hoofdkantoor heeft, 
+—  wordt deze licentie beheerst door het Belgische recht indien de licentiegever geen statutaire zetel, verblijfplaats of hoofdkantoor heeft in een lidstaat van de Europese Unie.
+
+   
+Aanhangsel 
+„Verenigbare licenties” in de zin van artikel 5 EUPL zijn: 
+—  GNU General Public License (GPL) v. 2, v. 3 
+—  GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) v. 3 
+—  Open Software License (OSL) v. 2.1, v. 3.0 
+—  Eclipse Public License (EPL) v. 1.0 
+—  CeCILL v. 2.0, v. 2.1 
+—  Mozilla Public Licence (MPL) v. 2 
+—  GNU Lesser General Public Licence (LGPL) v. 2.1, v. 3 
+—  Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike v. 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) voor andere werken dan software 
+—  European Union Public Licence (EUPL) v. 1.1, v. 1.2 
+—  Québec Free and Open-Source Licence — Reciprocity (LiLiQ-R) of Strong Reciprocity (LiLiQ-R+).
+De Europese Commissie kan dit aanhangsel actualiseren in geval van latere versies van de bovengenoemde licenties zonder dat er een nieuwe EUPL-versie wordt ontwikkeld, zolang die versies de uit hoofde van artikel 2 van deze licentie verleende rechten verlenen en ze de betrokken broncode beschermen tegen exclusieve toe-eigening.
+Voor alle andere wijzigingen van of aanvullingen op dit aanhangsel is de ontwikkeling van een nieuwe EUPL-versie vereist.

+ * Future Improvements:
+- Add more interpolation types
+- **Local Derivative (Slope)**: Instantaneous rate of change (dY/dX) at the current X. Useful for determining if the curve is ascending or descending.
+- **Second Derivative (Curvature)**: Curvature (d²Y/dX²) at the current X. Indicates how quickly the slope is changing (e.g., sharp or broad peaks).
+- **Distance to Nearest Local Peak or Valley**: X-distance from the current X to the closest local maximum or minimum. Useful for detecting proximity to turning points.
+- **Global Statistics (Mean, Median, Std Dev)**:
+  - Mean: Average of Y.
+  - Median: Middle Y value (sorted).
+  - Std Dev: Variability of Y. Provides insight into central tendency and spread, aiding in normalization or anomaly detection.
+- **Integrated Area Under the Curve (AUC)**: Numerical integration of Y across the X-range. Useful for total sums or energy-related calculations.
+- **Peak “Sharpness” or “Prominence”**: Measure of a peak's height and width relative to surrounding valleys. Important for signal processing or optimization.
+- **Nearest Points Around Current X**: Data points (or interpolated values) immediately to the left and right of the current X. Useful for local interpolation or neighbor analysis.
+- **Forecast / Extrapolation**: Estimated Y values outside the known X-range. Useful for exploring scenarios slightly beyond the data range (use with caution).
+- **Peak Count**: Total number of local maxima in the curve. Useful for identifying all peaks and their prominence.
+- **Position Relative to Mean (or Other Reference Lines)**: Distance (in percent or absolute value) of the current Y from a reference line (e.g., mean or median). Provides context relative to average or baseline levels.
+- **Local Slope Trend**: Direction of the slope (up, down, or flat) at the current X. Useful for identifying trends or inflection points.
+- **Local Curvature Trend**: Direction of the curvature (concave up, concave down, or flat) at the current X. Useful for identifying inflection points or turning points.
+- **Local Peak-to-Valley Ratio**: Ratio of the current peak height to the nearest valley depth. Useful for identifying peak prominence or sharpness.
+- ** Keep track of previous request and next request to identify slope and curvature
