randomForestSGT: Random Forest Super Greedy Trees

Implements random forest Super Greedy Trees (SGTs) for regression. SGTs extend classification and regression tree splitting by fitting lasso-penalized local parametric models at tree nodes, producing sparse univariate and multivariate geometric cuts such as axis-aligned splits, hyperplanes, ellipsoids, hyperboloids, and interaction-based cuts. Trees are grown best-split-first by selecting cuts that reduce empirical risk, and ensembles provide out-of-bag error estimation, prediction on new data, variable filtering, tuning of the hcut complexity parameter, coordinate-descent lasso fitting, variable importance, and local coefficient summaries. For the underlying method, see Ishwaran (2026) <doi:10.1007/s10462-026-11541-6>.
