package.Fixed mixed-type detection bug (class_index now per-column; strict all-numeric OR all-categorical check).
Corrected best_deriv() p-values length/off-by-one and added short-series guard.
Patched doxa_filter() binary clamp (now clamps to [0,1] instead of < 1 typo).
Hardened metrics: added safe_scale() to avoid zero/NA scale; fixed benchmark to use mean(actuals) for “average”.
Validated inputs (ci, windows, samples, dates length) and added early error for too-short series.
Stabilized weight rescaling/min-max with zero-range handling; vectorized ensemble normalization.
Improved date handling for plots/outputs (consistent step; correct future index).
Reduced brittleness/perf costs (preallocation where useful, safer splitting, fewer coercions) and kept seed propagation for reproducibility.
Added compute_distance() with memoized caching and new methods: “correlation” (1−corr) and “dtw” (guarded on dtw pkg).
Replaced Gaussian weight sampling with kernel weights vs. the most recent window + Dirichlet draws for uncertainty (faster, stabler).
Implemented conformal prediction: CI bounds now calibrated from rolling residuals; plot uses these bounds at the requested ci.
Introduced optional parallelism (use_parallel, parallel_workers) using furrr/future with seeded execution; falls back to sequential if unavailable.
Enabled distance-matrix caching (via digest when present) for reuse across samples and to cut repeated computation.
Kept API backward-compatible; new options default off and legacy distance methods unchanged.
