Description: Screen for and analyze non-linear sparse direct effects in
        the presence of unobserved confounding using the spectral
        deconfounding techniques (Ćevid, Bühlmann, and Meinshausen
        (2020)<jmlr.org/papers/v21/19-545.html>, Guo, Ćevid, and
        Bühlmann (2022) <doi:10.1214/21-AOS2152>). These methods have
        been shown to be a good estimate for the true direct effect if
        we observe many covariates, e.g., high-dimensional settings,
        and we have fairly dense confounding. Even if the assumptions
        are violated, it seems like there is not much to lose, and the
        deconfounded models will, in general, estimate a function
        closer to the true one than classical least squares
        optimization. 'SDModels' provides functions SDAM() for
        Spectrally Deconfounded Additive Models (Scheidegger, Guo, and
        Bühlmann (2025) <doi:10.1145/3711116>) and SDForest() for
        Spectrally Deconfounded Random Forests (Ulmer, Scheidegger, and
        Bühlmann (2025) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2025.2569602>).
