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).
