Description
Meta-issue to track the removal of Numba.
There's only a few places we are using Numba instead of JAX for a compiled speedup. Having two accelerators seems excessive for the dependency list.
- Similarity
- interpolation
-
_ps_filling.get_max_idxs -
ksSHP test

Research direction
Start by locating the four Numba use cases named in the checklist: Similarity, interpolation, _ps_filling.get_max_idxs, and the ks SHP test. Compare each with the existing JAX-based paths and run the SHP test; done means all listed uses are migrated and Numba is removed from the dependency list.
