Description: Estimates average treatment effects using kernel energy
        balancing with random forest similarity kernels. A multivariate
        random forest jointly models covariates, outcome, and treatment
        to build a similarity kernel between observations. This kernel
        is then used for energy balancing to create weights that
        control for confounding. The method is described in De and
        Huling (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2512.18069>.
