Description
Summary
To reduce the number of temporary files we may need to write, we should allow the feature functions to accept arrays in addition to files.
Additional Detail
Next Steps
- Check datatypes of inputs to feature functions. If str, load the file. If array, use that directly.
- Update the docstrings.
- Add tests for both types of inputs.

Research direction
Locate the feature functions and inspect how they currently load file inputs. Update their docstrings and add tests covering both file paths and arrays; done means both input types are accepted without unnecessary temporary files.
