		Hierarchical Neyman-Pearson Classification for Ordered Classes //
		The Hierarchical Neyman-Pearson (H-NP) classification framework
		extends the Neyman-Pearson classification paradigm to multi-
		class settings where classes have a natural priority ordering.
		This is particularly useful for classification in unbalanced
		dataset, for example, disease severity classification, where
		under-classification errors (misclassifying patients into less
		severe categories) are more consequential than other
		misclassifications. The package implements H-NP umbrella
		algorithms that controls under-classification errors under user
		specified control levels with high probability. It supports the
		creation of H-NP classifiers using scoring functions based on
		built-in classification methods (including logistic regression,
		support vector machines, and random forests), as well as user-
		trained scoring functions. The package exports
		`base_function()` to train these built-in base learners
		directly for use in the H-NP pipeline.
