class Emission_Index_Correlation_Method(Emissions): 
    """
    Analysis class for computing aircraft emissions using empirical correlation methods.

    Attributes
    ----------
    process : Process
        Container for computational processes
        - compute : Process
            Computation process container
            - emissions : function
                Function handle for emissions calculation

    Notes
    -----
    This class implements an emissions analysis method based on empirical correlations
    and pre-defined emission indices.

    The analysis follows these steps:
    1. Initialization of computation processes
    2. Assignment of empirical correlation functions
    3. Evaluation of emissions for given mission segments

    **Major Assumptions**
    * Emission indices are constant for each fuel type
    * Linear scaling with fuel flow rate
    * Well-mixed combustion products
    * Steady-state operation

    **Definitions**

    'Emission Index (EI)'
        Mass of pollutant emitted per unit mass of fuel burned [g/kg_fuel]

    'Process'
        Container for computational methods and their settings
