Description: Provides a nonparametric, multicore-capable plausible
        naive Bayes classifier based on Pareto density estimation
        (PDE). It addresses low-evidence cases through a plausibility
        correction. To enhance the interpretability of the flexible
        naive Bayes classifier by revealing its posterior structure and
        feature-wise, class-specific evidence, posterior probabilities
        can be visualized as class-wise line plots for one-dimensional
        data or color-coded Voronoi diagrams for pairwise feature
        projections, and class-conditional PDE likelihoods as overlaid,
        mirrored density profiles resembling violin plots.
        Methodological details are provided by Stier, Q., Hoffmann, J.
        and Thrun, M. C. (2026) "Classifying with the Fine Structure of
        Distributions: Leveraging Distributional Information for Robust
        and Plausible Naive Bayes" <DOI:10.3390/make8010013>. For
        multicore computations, the implementation applies the general
        memory-sharing approach described by Thrun, M. C. and Märte, J.

        with an Application to Feature Selection by Mutual Information
