FeatureRequest: FeatureSet Class for Abstracting Feature columns

[kenibrewer]

Feature type

• Add new functionality

• Change existing functionality

General description of the proposed functionality

As a step towards supporting a greater collection of imaging feature sets, we should implement abstractions around image feature columns. This will feed into #327 for creating object-oriented patterns for interacting with profile data.

Feature example

Pseudocode:

class FeatureSet:

Attributes:
  list [str]: combined_features
  list [str]: meta_features 
  list [str]: single_cell_features
  list [str]: image_features
  
  def __init__ (list: feature_list, regex: meta_pattern, regex: single_cell_pattern, regex: image_pattern):
    meta_features = regex.find_all(feature_list, meta_pattern)
    single_cell_features = regex.find_all(feature_list, single_cell_pattern)
    image_features = regex.find_all(image_pattern)
