Estimate the CATE Using a Random Forest for Step 1 of Virtual Twins

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>.
