title: 'MTLRF: Random Forest Regression with Modified Topp-Leone Error Model'
version: 1.0.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.MTLRF
abstract: '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).
