  <dc:title>Dirichlet Random Forest</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package DirichletRF version 0.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implementation of the Dirichlet Random Forest algorithm
    for compositional response data. Trees are grown using a Dirichlet
    log-likelihood splitting criterion, with maximum likelihood ('MLE') and
    method-of-moments ('MOM') parameter estimation. Provides averaging-based
    predictions (average of responses within terminal nodes), parameter-based
    predictions (expected value derived from the estimated Dirichlet
    parameters within terminal nodes), and distributional predictions
    represented as a weighted distribution over the training responses.
    Out-of-bag estimation and impurity- and permutation-based variable
    importance are also supported. For more details see Masoumifard, van der
    Westhuizen, and Gardner-Lubbe (2026, ISBN:9781032903910).</dc:description>
