Well I'd:
1. convert tab to spaces (however I hope no one using tabs by now)
2. Create a histogram from the leading spaces
3. Start some division test.
Let say we test with indent: IND
for each all leading space number in the histogram with IND then
multiple the remainder with the number of lines which that leading space
is used that would be DEV
summarize of these DEV values (deviations)
The deviation for IND=1 shall be 0. Start to increase IND, the largest
number while IND is 0 the indent of the file.
For miss formatted files you might allow a threshold somewhat above 0 as
well. This threshold could be a function of the number of lines in the file.

Well, this is some original idea! If somebody needs help with such a
thing, I would do it just to learn.
But honestly for an existing file I believe you could detect the
indentation style just looking at the AST. Heuristics would work imho.
But, of course, a neural network would be the cool way of solving it.

Glad to see someone interested in this feature.
A long time ago I came across a blog post[1] by Andrej Karpathy (AI guru) in
which a neural network was trained on variety of text datasets and then used as
a content generator. When trained on Linux and Apache source code, the
generator could reproduce pseudo code, that was not valid code, but was very
well formatted. It was quite cool to see the network had learned several
things, indentation being one of them. Do check out the Source Code section of
the blog to know what I am talking about.
The most straightforward way I see to do this is some frequency model of a
predefined set of indentation rules.
But if anyone is interested to create a small fast neural network with limited
features, it would be great to see the possibilities.
+1 for this.

Hi,
Assuming that this email doesn't get flagged as spam due to the subject line,
this is just a
reminder that I have a bounty for anyone who creates a NetBeans plugin that
detects and uses the
existing indentation of the file being edited. For any indentation info that
can not be gleaned
from the file, it should fall back to the preferences. This really is an
absolute must team work
these days.
You get $100 for coming up with the plugin, and another $100 if it gets donated
and makes it into
NetBeans itself. But I imagine most people will want to do this so that I have
a slightly higher
opinion of them.
I would do this myself but I am very, very lazy.
That is all,
Alvin
