		Dirichlet Random Forest // Implementation of the Dirichlet Random
		Forest algorithm for compositional response data. Trees are
		grown using a Dirichlet log-likelihood splitting criterion,
		with maximum likelihood ('MLE') and method-of-moments ('MOM')
		parameter estimation. Provides averaging-based predictions
		(average of responses within terminal nodes), parameter-based
		predictions (expected value derived from the estimated
		Dirichlet parameters within terminal nodes), and distributional
		predictions represented as a weighted distribution over the
		training responses. Out-of-bag estimation and impurity- and
		permutation-based variable importance are also supported. For
		more details see Masoumifard, van der Westhuizen, and Gardner-
		Lubbe (2026, ISBN:9781032903910).
