		Projection Pursuit Oblique Decision Trees and Random Forests //
		Builds decision trees by splitting on linear combinations of
		randomly chosen variables. Projection pursuit is used to choose
		a projection of the variables that best separates the groups.
		Using linear combinations of variables to separate groups takes
		the correlation between variables into account, which allows
		the model to outperform a traditional decision tree when the
		separation between groups occurs in combinations of variables.
		Single trees can be assembled into random forests for improved
		accuracy. Implements projection pursuit classification trees
		(Lee, Cook, Park and Lee (2013) doi:10.1214/13-EJS810) and
		projection pursuit forests (da Silva, Cook and Lee (2021)
		doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1870480), following the earlier
		'PPforest' package.
