Description

Describe the feature you'd like to have

The Diversity estimator currently only accepts time series inputs. It would be nice if it also accepts multivariate input data. Then Diversity estimator also could be used as a plug-in estimator for other discrete entropy-based measures that take multivariate inputs.

Sketch an implementation strategy

The implementation is trivial. When dispatching on Datasets, we just skip the first embedding step. This is at most a couple of lines of code, plus some tests.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the current Diversity estimator implementation and find where it dispatches on Dataset. Remove or skip the embedding step for multivariate input. Write tests to verify.
