abstract: Commonly used classification and regression tree methods like the CART algorithm
  are recursive partitioning methods that build the model in a forward stepwise search.
  Although this approach is known to be an efficient heuristic, the results of recursive
  tree methods are only locally optimal, as splits are chosen to maximize homogeneity
  at the next step only. An alternative way to search over the parameter space of
  trees is to use global optimization methods like evolutionary algorithms. The 'evtree'
  package implements an evolutionary algorithm for learning globally optimal classification
  and regression trees in R. CPU and memory-intensive tasks are fully computed in
  C++ while the 'partykit' package is leveraged to represent the resulting trees in
  R, providing unified infrastructure for summaries, visualizations, and predictions.
