#' @title Prediction Object for Regression
#'
#' @include Prediction.R
#'
#' @description
#' This object wraps the predictions returned by a learner of class [LearnerRegr], i.e.
#' the predicted response and standard error.
#' Additionally, probability distributions implemented in package `distr6` are supported.

    #' @description
    #' Creates a new instance of this [R6][R6::R6Class] class.

    #' @param task ([TaskRegr])\cr
    #'   Task, used to extract defaults for `row_ids` and `truth`.
    #'
    #' @param row_ids (`integer()`)\cr
    #'   Row ids of the predicted observations, i.e. the row ids of the test set.
    #'
    #' @param truth (`numeric()`)\cr
    #'   True (observed) response.
    #'
    #' @param response (`numeric()`)\cr
    #'   Vector of numeric response values.
    #'   One element for each observation in the test set.
    #'
    #' @param se (`numeric()`)\cr
    #'   Numeric vector of predicted standard errors.
    #'   One element for each observation in the test set.
    #'
    #' @param distr (`VectorDistribution`)\cr
    #'   `VectorDistribution` from package distr6 (in repository \url{https://raphaels1.r-universe.dev}).
    #'   Each individual distribution in the vector represents the random variable 'survival time'
    #'   for an individual observation.
    #'
    #' @param check (`logical(1)`)\cr
    #'   If `TRUE`, performs some argument checks and predict type conversions.
