/// A regret matcher implementing PDCFR+ (Predictive Discounted CFR+).
///
/// PDCFR+ combines the best of both DCFR+ and PCFR+:
/// - Regret discounting from DCFR+
/// - Predictive strategy selection from PCFR+
///
/// Update rules:
/// - Regret: `R^t = [R^{t-1} * d(t-1, alpha) + r^t]^+`
/// - Predicted regret: `R_tilde^{t+1} = [R^t * d(t, alpha) + v^{t+1}]^+`
/// - Strategy: `x^{t+1} = R_tilde^{t+1} / ||R_tilde^{t+1}||_1`
/// - Cumulative: `X^t = X^{t-1} * ((t-1)/t)^gamma + x^t`
///
/// where `d(t, alpha) = t^alpha / (t^alpha + 1)`.
///
/// Recommended parameters: alpha = 2.3, gamma = 5
