 A density estimation tree (see `methods/det`) is a form of binary space
 tree, except that it splits differently and each node needs to hold some
 information about its own density.

 In fact, I would say it is similar enough that a density estimation tree
 could actually just be a specific instantiation of a BinarySpaceTree with
 a different splitting mechanism and a specially constructed statistic
 object to hold the necessary information.
