Mixed Data Types Density Estimator

Calls np::npudens() and the result is coerced to a distr6::Distribution.

Dictionary

This Learner can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_learners or with the associated sugar function lrn():

LearnerDensMixed$new()
mlr_learners$get("dens.mixed")
lrn("dens.mixed")
