51/// Separation Gain:
52/// the measure of how the quality of separation of the sample increases
53/// by splitting the sample e.g. into a "left-node" and a "right-node"
54/// (N * Index_parent) - (N_left * Index_left) - (N_right * Index_right)
55/// this is then the quality criterion which is optimized for when trying
56/// to increase the information in the system (making the best selection
