I didn't follow that PR and was surprised that it depended on decision
trees when I saw it after the merge. Prinzie and Van den Poel [1][2]
build random "forests" of multinomial LR classifiers, calling the
result random multinomial logit. I've yet to read it thorougly, so I'm
not sure they use the exact same (meta-)algorithm that our forests do.
