Description: An ensemble method for the statistical detection of
    a rare class in two-class classification problems. The method uses an
    ensemble of classifiers where the constituent
    models of the ensemble use disjoint subsets (phalanxes) of explanatory
    variables. We provide an implementation of the phalanx-formation algorithm.
