test_null_theta_ctree

Fits a conditional inference tree with minimal test statistic <code>theta</code>
and tests if the tree has more than one terminal node.

Implements methods to fit Virtual Twins models (Foster et al.
(2011) <doi:10.1002/sim.4322>) for identifying subgroups with differential
effects in the context of clinical trials while controlling the probability
of falsely detecting a differential effect when the conditional average
treatment effect is uniform across the study population using parameter
selection methods proposed in Wolf et al. (2022)
<doi:10.1177/17407745221095855>.
