		Automated Multi-Outcome Machine Learning Combination Models //
		Provides automated machine learning workflows for survival
		analysis, binary classification, continuous outcomes, and
		ordinal outcomes. The package trains and combines model
		variants across user-supplied multi-cohort data, evaluates
		survival models by leave-one-out cross-validation using
		Harrell's concordance index, binary models by leave-one-out
		cross-validation using receiver operating characteristic area
		under the curve, continuous models by out-of-fold root mean
		squared error and R-squared, and ordinal models by out-of-fold
		quadratic weighted kappa. It renders reproducible reports in
		Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) with figures and diagnostics.
		The survival workflow supports penalized and tree-based Cox
		proportional hazards models, stepwise Cox models, partial least
		squares regression for Cox models, supervised principal
		components, gradient boosting machine Cox models, survival
		support vector machines (survival-SVM), random survival
		forests, and optional 'CoxBoost'. The binary workflow supports
		penalized logistic regression, logistic baselines, gradient
		boosting machines, random forests, principal component analysis
		(PCA) logistic regression, and Gaussian naive Bayes variants.
		Continuous and ordinal workflows reuse an 18-variant regression
		registry with penalized, linear, boosted, forest, PCA, and
		baseline families. The optional 'CoxBoost' model is enabled
		when the suggested 'CoxBoost' package is installed; it is used
		conditionally and is not a strong dependency. Optional model
		backends are checked at run time so missing backend packages
		skip only the affected model variants rather than blocking
		installation of the whole package. Methods build on Friedman et
		al. (2010) doi:10.18637/jss.v033.i01, Bair and Tibshirani
		(2004) doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.0020108, Ishwaran et al. (2008)
