Description: Implements Random Forest regression under the Modified
        Topp-Leone (MTL) distribution error model. Provides core
        distribution functions (density, cumulative distribution, exact
        closed-form quantile, random generation, hazard, and survival),
        parameter estimation via closed-form
        Expectation-Maximization/Maximum Likelihood (EM/MLE) and
        Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), non-parametric
        bootstrap confidence intervals (at 90%, 95%, and 99% levels),
        Highest Posterior Density (HPD) intervals, Heidelberger and
        Welch MCMC convergence diagnostics, model evaluation metrics
        (estimated values, bias, mean squared error, risk value),
        homoscedastic prediction intervals, and goodness-of-fit
        diagnostic tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Anderson-Darling
        tests, Akaike Information Criterion, and Bayesian Information
        Criterion). References: Breiman (2001)
