		Fast Calculation of Feature Contributions in Boosting Trees //
		Computes feature-specific R-squared (R2) contributions for
		boosting tree models using a Shapley-value-based decomposition
		of the total R-squared in polynomial time. Supports models
		fitted with 'XGBoost', 'LightGBM', and 'CatBoost', with
		optimized backend-specific implementations and cached tree
		summaries suitable for large-scale problems. Multiple
		visualization tools are included for interpreting and
		communicating feature contributions. The methodology is
		described in Jiang, Zhang, and Zhang (2025)
		doi:10.48550/arXiv.2407.03515. Optional 'CatBoost' support uses
		the R package 'catboost', which is not distributed on CRAN;
		installation instructions and released binaries are provided by
		the CatBoost project at
		https://catboost.ai/docs/en/concepts/r-installation.
