#' @title Root Mean Lack of Precision (RMLP)
#' @name RMLP
#' @description It estimates the RMLP, the square root of the unsystematic error 
#' component to the Mean Squared Error (MSE), for a continuous predicted-observed
#' dataset following Correndo et al. (2021).
#' @param data (Optional) argument to call an existing data frame containing the data.
#' @param obs Vector with observed values (numeric).
#' @param pred Vector with predicted values (numeric).
#' @param tidy Logical operator (TRUE/FALSE) to decide the type of return. TRUE 
#' returns a data.frame, FALSE returns a list; Default : FALSE.
#' @param na.rm Logic argument to remove rows with missing values 
#' (NA). Default is na.rm = TRUE.
#' @return an object of class `numeric` within a `list` (if tidy = FALSE) or within a
#' `data frame` (if tidy = TRUE).
#' @details The RMLP represents the unsystematic (random) component of the MSE 
#' expressed on the original variables units \eqn{ \sqrt{MLP} }. 
#' It is obtained via a symmetric decomposition of the MSE (invariant to 
#' predicted-observed orientation) using a symmetric regression line (SMA). 
#' The RMLP is equal to the square-root of the sum of unsystematic differences 
#' divided by the sample size (n). The greater the value the greater the random 
#' noise of the predictions.
#' For the formula and more details, see [online-documentation](https://adriancorrendo.github.io/metrica/articles/available_metrics_regression.html)
