		Threshold-Based and Iterative Threshold-Based Naive Bayes
		Classifier // Implements the Threshold-Based Naive Bayes (Tb-
		NB) classifier and its iterative refinement (iTb-NB) for binary
		sentiment / text classification problems. The classifier
		computes a continuous log-likelihood ratio score per document
		and uses a data-driven decision threshold estimated via K-fold
		cross-validation on a user-selected criterion (accuracy, F1
		score, Matthews correlation coefficient, balanced error, etc.).
		An optional iterative refinement procedure locally re-estimates
		the threshold in regions of class overlap using either Gaussian
		kernel density estimation or a Central Limit Theorem bootstrap
		approximation. The package exposes an idiomatic R formula +
		data.frame interface together with a 'quanteda'-based text
		preprocessing pipeline, supports user-supplied document-feature
		matrices, and includes an optional word-embedding extension
		that augments the Bag-of-Words with K nearest semantic
		neighbours of each token. The package additionally implements
		the p-value extension proposed by Romano (2025) for both
		document- and feature-level interpretability via
		tbnb_pvalues(). Methods are described in Romano, Contu, Mola,
		Conversano (2024) doi:10.1007/s11634-023-00536-8, Romano,
		Zammarchi, Conversano (2024) doi:10.1007/s10260-023-00721-1,
		and Romano (2025) doi:10.1007/978-3-031-96736-8_41.
