 Review comment:
   It is generally unadvisable to introduce the notion of a `Tuple` into an 
interface. `Tuple` is convenient for private member variables that are not 
exposed, or for correlating two objects with an inline variable. However, when 
being exposed in an API, an object should be preferred with more intuitive 
names. Given that this is used in `StatusMetricExtractFunction` I would suggest 
that this method should probably return a `StatusMetric` object. That object 
should then have a `List<Double[]> getFeatures()` method and a `List<Double> 
getLabels()` method, for instance. If `Stream` is in fact preferred over `List` 
(though I would tend to prefer a `List` here, based on the code that I've 
reviewed thus far), I would recommend using a `DoubleStream` instead of a 
`Stream<Double>`.
   
   Or, depending on how the values are to be used, if the values in the first 
Stream are expected to be iterated over in tandem with the the values of the 
second Stream, it may make more sense to have the method return a 
`StatusMetrics` object that provides a `List` of `StatusMetric`, which then has 
`Double[] getFeatures()` and `Double getLabel()` methods...
