Description: Flexible stochastic tree ensemble software. 
    Robust implementations of Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) 
    (Chipman, George, McCulloch (2010) <doi:10.1214/09-AOAS285>) 
    for supervised learning and Bayesian Causal Forests (BCF) 
    (Hahn, Murray, Carvalho (2020) <doi:10.1214/19-BA1195>) 
    for causal inference. Enables model serialization and parallel sampling 
    and provides a low-level interface for custom stochastic forest samplers.
    Includes the grow-from-root algorithm for accelerated forest sampling 
    (He and Hahn (2021) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2021.1942012>), 
    a log-linear leaf model for forest-based heteroskedasticity (Murray (2020) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2020.1813587>), 
    and the cloglog BART model of Alam and Linero (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2502.00606> for ordinal outcomes.
