#' Competing Risk Function Combiner
#'
#' Creates a CompetingRiskFunctionCombiner rJava object, which is used
#' internally for constructing a forest. The forest uses it when creating
#' predictions to average the cumulative incidence curves, cause-specific
#' cumulative hazard functions, and Kaplan-Meier curves generated by each tree
#' into individual functions.
#'
#' The user only needs to pass this object into \code{\link{train}} as the
#' \code{forestResponseCombiner} parameter.
#'
#' @param events A vector of integers specifying which competing risk events's
#' functions should be processed. This should correspond to all of the
#' competing risk events that can occur, from 1 to the largest number.
#' @param times An optional numeric vector that forces the output functions to
#' only update at these time points. Pre-specifying the values can result in
#' faster performance when predicting, however if the times are not exhaustive
#' then the resulting curves will not update at that point (they'll be flat).
#' If left blank, the package will default to using all of the time points.

#' Competing Risk Response Combiner
#'
#' Creates a CompetingRiskResponseCombiner rJava object, which is used
#' internally for constructing a forest. It is used when each tree in the forest
#' is constructed, as it combines response level information (u & delta) into
#' functions such as cumulative incidence curves, cause-specific cumulative
#' hazard functions, and an overall Kaplan-Meier curve. This combination is done
#' for each terminal node for each tree.
#'
#' The user only needs to pass this object into \code{\link{train}} as the
#' \code{nodeResponseCombiner} parameter.
#'
#' @param events A vector of integers specifying which competing risk events's
#' functions should be processed. This should correspond to all of the
#' competing risk events that can occur, from 1 to the largest number.

#' Competing Risk Split Finders
#'
#' Creates a SplitFinder rJava Java object, which is then used internally when
#' training a competing risk random forest. The split finder is responsible for
#' finding the best split according to the logic of the split finder.
#'
#' These split finders require that the response be \code{\link{CR_Response}}.
#'
#' The user only needs to pass this object into \code{\link{train}} as the
#' \code{splitFinder} parameter.
#'
#' @return An internal rJava Java object used in \code{\link{train}}.
#' @note The Gray log-rank split finder \strong{requires} that the response
#' include the censoring time.
#' @param events A vector of integers specifying which competing risk events
#' should be focused on when determining differences. Currently, equal weights
#' will be assigned to all included groups.
#' @param eventsOfFocus The split finder will only maximize differences
#' between the two groups with respect to these specified events. Default is
#' \code{NULL}, which will cause the split finder to focus on all events
#' included in \code{events}.
#' @details Roughly speaking, the Gray log-rank split finder looks at
#' differences between the cumulative incidence functions of the two groups,
#' while the plain log-rank split finder look at differences between the
#' cause-specific hazard functions. See the references for a more detailed
#' discussion.
