Credits

The cond() function for building contrasts has been devised by @const-ae for his R package glmGamPoi. A prototype of the Python implementation has been built at the scverse hackathon in Cambridge, UK in Nov 2023 by @grst, @const-ae and @BorisMuzellec. The production version in this package has been implemented by @grst.
