    This class encapsulates steps in the analysis which will likely be often used, such as:
        - dataset encoding
        - training of machine learning models
        - signal implanting in repertoires without any signals etc.

    For a custom analysis which is not likely to be repeated for different settings
    (e.g. such as with a different encoding), create a custom class inheriting
    AbstractProcess from workflows.processes package.
