Description: Imbalanced domain learning has almost exclusively focused
        on solving classification tasks, where the objective is to
        predict cases labelled with a rare class accurately. Such a
        well-defined approach for regression tasks lacked due to two
        main factors. First, standard regression tasks assume that each
        value is equally important to the user. Second, standard
        evaluation metrics focus on assessing the performance of the
        model on the most common cases. This package contains methods
        to tackle imbalanced domain learning problems in regression
        tasks, where the objective is to predict extreme (rare) values.
        The methods contained in this package are: 1) an automatic and
        non-parametric method to obtain such relevance functions; 2)
        visualisation tools; 3) suite of evaluation measures for
        optimisation/validation processes; 4) the squared-error
        relevance area measure, an evaluation metric tailored for
        imbalanced regression tasks. More information can be found in
        Ribeiro and Moniz (2020) <doi:10.1007/s10994-020-05900-9>.
