"""
Compute range-scaled Gower component for interval-scale (numeric) features. The same logic as
in ratio scale.
Args:
X (np.ndarray): array of shape (n_x, n_features)
Y (np.ndarray): array of shape (n_y, n_features)
numeric_indices (list[int]): indices of numeric-interval columns
ranges (np.ndarray): 1D array of ranges for each numeric-interval column
h (np.ndarray): optional 1D array of bandwidths for KDE scaling
missing_strategy (str): one of "ignore", "max_dist", "raise_error"
weights (Optional[np.ndarray]): optional 1D array of same length as numeric_indices
scale_window (Optional[str]): optional scaling window method
Returns:
tuple[np.ndarray, np.ndarray]:
- sum_diff: matrix (n_x, n_y) weighted sum of per-feature distances
- count_present: matrix (n_x, n_y) number of non-missing pairs per feature
