#' R package for Qualitative Treatment-Subgroup Interactions
#'
#' When two treatment alternatives (say A and B) are available for some problem,
#' one may be interested in qualitative treatment-subgroup interactions. Such
#' interactions imply the existence of subgroups of persons (patients) which are
#' such that in one subgroup Treatment A outperforms Treatment B, whereas the reverse
#' holds in another subgroup. Obviously, this type of interactions is crucial for
#' optimal treatment assignment of future patients. Given baseline characteristics and
#' outcome data from a two-arm Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), QUalitative INteraction
#' Trees (QUINT) is a tool to identify subgroups that are involved in meaningful
#' qualitative treatment-subgroup interactions. The result of QUINT is a tree that
#' partitions the total group of participants (patients) on the basis of their baseline
#' characteristics into three subgroups (i.e., partition classes): Subgroup 1: Those for
#' whom Treatment A is better than Treatment B (P1), Subgroup 2: Those for whom
#' Treatment B is better than Treatment A (P2), and Subgroup 3: Those for whom it does
#' not make any difference (P3).

#' This method is suitable for a continuous outcome variable. From version 1.2 onwards
#' the baseline variables for growing a tree may have numerical
#' or integer values (such as continuous, ordinal or dichotomous variables) or may be nominal
#' (categorical variables with factors). Previously only numerical or dichotomous variables
#' were supported. Another new feature of this version is that
#' the output of a \code{quint} object can now also display results for either the raw difference
#' in means or the effect size with corresponding standard error. This depends on the criterion
#' specified. Furthermore a predict function \code{predict.quint} is newly included in this
#' package. The final new feature is a validate function \code{quint.validate} for estimating
#' the bias (i.e., optimism) of a grown QUINT tree.
#'
#' From version 2.0 onwards the qualitative treatment-subgroup interaction is checked during the prune
#' of the tree and not at the begining of QUINT. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain outcomes
#' from the summary and predict functions when the tree only contains the root node.
#'
#' The core function of the package is \code{\link{quint}}.
