Description
Hi,
Im new to the DML framework and EconML package.
When I use CausalForestDML() and have "discrete_treatment = False", does it have Riesz Representers running in the back? Gemini told me its not but want to verify with you guys.
If not, any suggestion if I can use any other package to enable Riesz Representers with CausalForestDML()? or EconML solves the high regularization bias at the backend in another way that works.
Thank you very much!

Research direction
Start with the EconML CausalForestDML documentation and the behavior associated with the discrete_treatment parameter. Check how Riesz representers and regularization bias are described, then provide a clear explanation of whether this configuration supports them or identify the relevant alternative.
