#' @title R6 class representing a (generic) model.

#' @description
#' "Model" class, containing a (generic) learning function, which from
#' data + target [+ params] returns a prediction function X --> y.
#' Parameters for cross-validation are either provided or estimated.
#' Model family can be chosen among "tree", "ppr" and "knn" for now.
