+    ----------
+    metrics : pd.DataFrame
+        A DataFrame containing unit metrics with unit IDs as index.
+    thresholds : dict | str | Path
+        A dictionary or JSON file path where keys are metric names and values are threshold values for labeling units.
+        Each key should correspond to a quality metric present in the analyzer's quality metrics DataFrame. Values
+        should contain at least "min" and/or "max" keys to specify threshold ranges.
+    pass_label : str, default: "good"
+        The label to assign to units that pass all thresholds.
+    fail_label : str, default: "noise"
+        The label to assign to units that fail any threshold.
+    operator : "and" | "or", default: "and"
+        The logical operator to combine multiple metric thresholds. "and" means a unit must pass all thresholds to be
+        labeled as pass_label, while "or" means a unit must pass at least one threshold to be labeled as pass_label.
+    nan_policy : "fail" | "pass" | "ignore", default: "fail"
+        Policy for handling NaN values in metrics. If "fail", units with NaN values in any metric will be labeled as
+        fail_label. If "pass", units with NaN values in one metric will be labeled as pass_label.
+        If "ignore", NaN values will be ignored. Note that the "ignore" behavior will depend on the operator used.
+        If "and", NaNs will be treated as passing, since the initial mask is all true;
+        if "or", NaNs will be treated as failing, since the initial mask is all false.
