Description: Adversarial random forests (ARFs) recursively partition
        data into fully factorized leaves, where features are jointly
        independent. The procedure is iterative, with alternating
        rounds of generation and discrimination. Data becomes
        increasingly realistic at each round, until original and
        synthetic samples can no longer be reliably distinguished. This
        is useful for several unsupervised learning tasks, such as
        density estimation and data synthesis. Methods for both are
        implemented in this package. ARFs naturally handle unstructured
        data with mixed continuous and categorical covariates. They
        inherit many of the benefits of random forests, including
        speed, flexibility, and solid performance with default
        parameters.  For details, see Watson et al. (2023)
