+
+    This is an extension to the pandas data-frame that will perform a risk assessment on a variety of attributes
+    This implementation puts the responsibility on the user of the framework to join datasets and load the final results into a pandas data-frame.
+
+    The code will randomly select fields and compute the risk (marketer and prosecutor) and perform a given number of runs.
+
+    Usage:
+    from pandas_risk import *
+
+    mydataframe = pd.DataFrame('/myfile.csv')
+    risk = mydataframe.deid.risk(id=<name of patient field>,num_runs=<number of runs>)
+
+
+    @TODO:
+        - Provide a selected number of fields and risk will be computed for those fields.
+        - include journalist risk
