MTLRF: Random Forest Regression with Modified Topp-Leone Error Model

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).
