pye: Penalized Youden Index Estimator

Implements the Penalized Youden Index Estimator (PYE) and the Covariate-Adjusted Youden Index Estimator (covYI), providing a novel framework for feature and covariate selection and combination in high-dimensional binary classification problems. Methodologies are based on Salaroli and Pardo (2023) <doi:10.1016/j.chemolab.2023.104786> and an unpublished manuscript by Salaroli and Pardo (2026) under review.
