Description: Functions for assessing variable relations and
        associations prior to modeling with a Random Forest algorithm
        (although these are relevant for any predictive model). Metrics
        such as partial correlations and variance inflation factors are
        tabulated as well as plotted for the user. A function is
        available for tuning the main Random Forest hyper-parameter
        based on model performance and variable importance metrics.
        This grid-search technique provides tables and plots showing
        the effect of the main hyper-parameter on each of the
        assessment metrics. It also returns each of the evaluated
        models to the user. The package also provides superior variable
        importance plots for individual models. All of the plots are
        developed so that the user has the ability to edit and improve
        further upon the plots. Derivations and methodology are
        described in Bladen (2022)
