		Benchmarking Genomic Selection and Machine-Learning Prediction
		Models // A unified interface to fit, cross-validate and
		benchmark genomic prediction models from SNP marker data. It
		implements genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) and
		ridge-regression BLUP in base R, and offers a common interface
		to machine-learning predictors (elastic net, random forest and
		gradient boosting) through optional packages, together with a
		stacked ensemble. Cross-validation uses breeding-relevant
		schemes and reports prediction accuracy honestly, so models can
		be compared fairly. The genomic relationship matrix follows
		VanRaden (2008) doi:10.3168/jds.2007-0980; the mixed-model
		solver follows Endelman (2011)
		doi:10.3835/plantgenome2011.08.0024; the genomic-selection
		framework follows Meuwissen, Hayes and Goddard (2001)
		doi:10.1093/genetics/157.4.1819.
