datasets

Implements various prediction interval methods with random forests and boosted forests.
The package has two main functions: pibf() produces prediction intervals with boosted forests
(PIBF) as described in Alakus et al. (2022) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2022-012> and rfpi() builds 15
distinct variations of prediction intervals with random forests (RFPI) proposed by Roy and
Larocque (2020) <doi:10.1177/0962280219829885>.
