Oblique Random Forest Classifier

Accelerated oblique random classification forest. Calls aorsf::orsf() from aorsf. Note that although the learner has the property "missing" and it can in principle deal with missing values, the behaviour has to be configured using the parameter na_action.

Initial parameter values

• n_thread: This parameter is initialized to 1 (default is 0) to avoid conflicts with the mlr3 parallelization.

• pred_simplify has to be TRUE, otherwise response is NA in prediction
