#' Cached \code{\link[randomForestSRC]{var.select}} objects for examples,
#' diagnostics and vignettes.
#'
#' Data sets storing \code{\link[randomForestSRC]{var.select}} objects corresponding to
#' training data according to the following naming convention:
#'\itemize{
#' \item \code{varsel_iris} - from a randomForestSR[C] for the \code{iris} data set.
#' \item \code{varsel_Boston} - from a randomForestS[R]C for the \code{Boston} housing
#' data set (\code{MASS} package).
#' \item \code{varsel_pbc} - from a randomForest[S]RC for the \code{pbc} data set
#' (\code{randomForestSRC} package)
#' }
#'
#' @details
#' Constructing minimal depth variable selection with the randomForestsSRC::var.select function
#' is computationally expensive. We cache \code{\link[randomForestSRC]{var.select}} objects
#' to improve the \code{ggRandomForests} examples, diagnostics and vignettes run times.
#' (see \code{\link{cache_rfsrc_datasets}} to rebuild a complete set of these data sets.)
#'
#' For each data set listed, we build a \code{\link[randomForestSRC]{rfsrc}}
#' (see \code{\link{rfsrc_data}}), then calculate the minimal depth variable selection with
#' \code{\link[randomForestSRC]{var.select}} function, setting \code{method="md"}. Each data set is
#' built with the \code{\link{cache_rfsrc_datasets}} with the \code{randomForestSRC} version
#' listed in the \code{ggRandomForests} DESCRIPTION file.
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{varsel_iris} - The famous (Fisher's or Anderson's) \code{iris} data set gives
#' the measurements in centimeters of the variables sepal length and width and
#' petal length and width, respectively, for 50 flowers from each of 3 species
#' of iris. Build a classification random forest for predicting the species (setosa,
#' versicolor, and virginica) on 5 variables (columns) and 150 observations (rows).
#'
#' \item \code{varsel_Boston} - The \code{Boston} housing values in suburbs of Boston from the
#' \code{MASS} package. Build a regression random forest for predicting medv (median home
#' values) on 13 covariates and 506 observations.
#'
#' \item \code{varsel_pbc} - The \code{pbc} data from the Mayo Clinic trial in primary biliary
#' cirrhosis (PBC) of the liver conducted between 1974 and 1984. A total of 424 PBC patients,
#' referred to Mayo Clinic during that ten-year interval, met eligibility criteria for the
#' randomized placebo controlled trial of the drug D-penicillamine. 312 cases participated in
#' the randomized trial and contain largely complete data. Data from the \code{randomForestSRC}
#' package. Build a survival random forest for time-to-event death data with 17 covariates and
#' 312 observations (remaining 106 observations are held out).
