An ensemble method for the statistical detection of
a rare class in two-class classification problems. The method uses an
ensemble of classifiers where the constituent
models of the ensemble use disjoint subsets (phalanxes) of explanatory
variables. We provide an implementation of the phalanx-formation algorithm.
