Description: Implements an extension of Bayesian Additive Regression
        Trees (BART) in which each regression tree outputs a linear
        combination of random ridge functions (i.e., a composition of a
        non-linear function like cosine, hyperbolic tangent, the
        rectified linear unit with an affine transformation) instead of
        a constant. Can be used to perform "targeted smoothing" in
        which trees split on certain covariates but output smooth
        functions in other covariates. For more information, see Yee,
        Ghosh, and Deshpande (2026+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2411.07984>.
