Description: Fits sparse linear varying coefficient models (VCMs),
        which assert a linear relationship between an outcome and
        several covariates that is allowed to change as functions of
        additional variables known as effect modifiers. Designed for
        high-dimensional settings where the number of covariates (i.e.,
        number of slopes) is comparable to or larger than the number of
        observations. Approximates the coefficient functions using a
        version of Bayesian Additive Regression Trees that can perform
        global-local shrinkage. For more details see Ghosh, Bhogale,
        and Deshpande (2026+) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.08204>.
