folda: Forward Stepwise Discriminant Analysis with Pillai's Trace

A novel forward stepwise discriminant analysis framework that integrates Pillai's trace with Uncorrelated Linear Discriminant Analysis (ULDA), providing an improvement over traditional stepwise LDA methods that rely on Wilks' Lambda. A stand-alone ULDA implementation is also provided, offering a more general solution than the one available in the 'MASS' package. It automatically handles missing values and provides visualization tools. For more details, see Wang (2024) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2409.03136>.
