-NICE (N-body Iteratively Contracted Equivariants) is a set of tools designed for calculation of 
-invariant and covariant atomic structure representations. It allows to
-automatically select most informative combinations of high order spectrum elements
-and perform their efficient computation using recurrence relations.
