Description: Implements Friedman's gradient descent boosting algorithm
        for modeling longitudinal response using multivariate tree base
        learners. Longitudinal response could be continuous, binary,
        nominal or ordinal.  A time-covariate interaction effect is
        modeled using penalized B-splines (P-splines) with estimated
        adaptive smoothing parameter. Although the package is designed
        for longitudinal data, it can handle cross-sectional data as
        well. Implementation details are provided in Pande et al.
        (2017), Mach Learn <doi:10.1007/s10994-016-5597-1>. This is a
        Cleveland Clinic Foundation patched build correcting
        terminal-node coefficient divergence when fitting with
        cross-validation enabled.
