abstract: '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. (2026) "memshare: Memory Sharing
  for Multicore Computation in R with an Application to Feature Selection by Mutual
  Information using PDE" <DOI:10.32614/RJ-2025-043>.'
