Function ```estimate_dimension``` is missing from ```separated_de/estimate_dimension.jl```

Describe the bug
When trying to call the function estimate_dimension e.g. as estimate_dimension(signal, ...) the following error is returned:

ERROR: UndefVarError: `estimate_dimension` not defined
Stacktrace:
 [1] getproperty
   @ .\Base.jl:31 [inlined]
 [2] avg_dimension(sigs::Matrix{Float64})
   @ Main d:\Corentin\Julia\Glial_mitochondria\src\mitochondrial_dynamics.jl:34
 [3] top-level scope
   @ d:\Corentin\Julia\Glial_mitochondria\src\mitochondrial_dynamics.jl:57

Looking at the source code in separated_de/estimate_dimension.jl there seems to be no such function there, as opposed to the function estimate_delay, which is found in estimate_delay.jl

Minimal Working Example

using DynamicalSystems
using Random
test = rand(1000)
 estimate_dimension(signal)

Package versions

DyncamicalSystems 3.2.3

estimate_dimension does not appear to be an exported name of DelayEmbeddings.jl:

https://juliadynamics.github.io/DelayEmbeddings.jl/stable/search/?q=estimate_dimension

where did you find it from?

Datseris commented

This links to version of the 1.3 docs, which is 6 years old, probably older. Current version of the software is 3.2.3 as also stated in your report of package versions. I assume this issue is because of consluting a by-now invalid documentation page. Use instead the current one (https://juliadynamics.github.io/DynamicalSystemsDocs.jl/delayembeddings/stable/) and if there are still problems with missing names re-open the issue!

Datseris commented

Or, if you want to stick to using the v1.3 docs, that is also doable but you need to explicitly add v1.3 of DynamicalSystems.jl at your project.

CNelias commented

Oh my bad, sorry for the trouble. I was using the first link that google provided me for the doc...

Datseris commented

Perhaps I can fix that. Do you remember what was the query you used in google? All queries I've tried now bring me either to the latest stable version or to the development version (which is the same as latest stable).

CNelias commented

I don't remember precisely, but for instance when I google dynamical systems jl, the fourth link that shows up is the version 1.3 (https://juliadynamics.github.io/DynamicalSystems.jl/v1.3/)

Same result here when using Google as the search engine. The first link leads to the correct docs, the fourth link leads to some very old docs.
