abstract: Fits and compares representations of time-varying data against a prediction
  target. Given a table of targets and a table of time-stamped series belonging to
  them, it builds each candidate representation, from the record unreduced through
  a calendar grain such as a week or a month to a lookback anchored on each target,
  fits the requested learners on each, scores every candidate on one set of held-out
  folds, and stacks the out-of-fold predictions into an ensemble. Calendar-aware binning
  keeps a bin a real week or month rather than a fixed block of hours. Learners, response
  heads and metrics are registered rather than hard-coded, so adding one is a registration
  and not a fork of the fitting code. The penalised baseline is an elastic net fitted
  by cyclic coordinate descent along a warm-started path, following Friedman, Hastie
  and Tibshirani (2010) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v033.i01>. The shipped default
  is presence-absence with a joint multi-label head, the setting used for species
  distribution modelling from microclimate loggers, scored by the area under the ROC
  curve with the true skill statistic of Allouche, Tsoar and Kadmon (2006) <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2664.2006.01214.x>
