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>.
