In mlr3viz: Visualizations for 'mlr3'

#' @title Plots for Regression Predictions
#'
#' @description
#' Visualizations for [mlr3::PredictionRegr].
#' The argument `type` controls what kind of plot is drawn.
#' Possible choices are:
#'
#' * `"xy"` (default): Scatterplot of "true" response vs. "predicted" response.
#'    By default a linear model is fitted via `geom_smooth(method = "lm")` to visualize the trend between x and y (by default colored blue).
#'    In addition `geom_abline()` with `slope = 1` is added to the plot.
#'    Note that `geom_smooth()` and `geom_abline()` may overlap, depending on the given data.
#' * `"histogram"`: Histogram of residuals: \eqn{r = y - \hat{y}}{r = y - y.hat}.
#' * `"residual"`: Plot of the residuals, with the response \eqn{\hat{y}}{y.hat} on the "x" and the residuals on the "y" axis.
#'    By default a linear model is fitted via `geom_smooth(method = "lm")` to visualize the trend between x and y (by default colored blue).
#' * `"confidence`: Scatterplot of "true" response vs. "predicted" response with
#'    confidence intervals. Error bars calculated as object$reponse +- quantile * object$se and so only
#'    possible with `predict_type = "se"`. `geom_abline()` with `slope = 1` is added to the plot.
#'
#' @param object ([mlr3::PredictionRegr]).
#' @template param_type
#' @param binwidth (`integer(1)`)\cr
#'  Width of the bins for the histogram.
#' @param quantile (`numeric(1)`)\cr
#'  Quantile multiplier for standard errors for `type="confidence"`. Default 1.96.

#' @param ... (ignored).
