Description
"Dirichlet Random Forest".
Description
Implementation of the Dirichlet Random Forest algorithm for compositional response data. Supports maximum likelihood estimation ('MLE') and method-of-moments ('MOM') parameter estimation for the Dirichlet distribution. Provides two prediction strategies; averaging-based predictions (average of responses within terminal nodes) and parameter-based predictions (expected value derived from the estimated Dirichlet parameters within terminal nodes). For more details see Masoumifard, van der Westhuizen, and Gardner-Lubbe (2026, ISBN:9781032903910).
