• Bump cpp11 to 0.4.7.

Added

• Functions read_literanger and write_literanger for serialization.

Fixed

• Fixed bug in implementation of always-selected candidates for splitting, e.g. the names_of_always_draw argument 6d31d7f3
• Minor performance tweak 9a3b639a in particular for ‘maxstat’ 37580d9b

0.0.2 - 2023-07-11

0.0.1 - 2023-06-25

First release

A refactoring and adaptation of the ranger package https://github.com/imbs-hl/ranger for random forests. Has faster prediction mode intended for embedding into the multiple imputation algorithm proposed by Doove et al in:

Doove, L. L., Van Buuren, S., & Dusseldorp, E. (2014). Recursive partitioning for missing data imputation in the presence of interaction effects. Computational statistics & data analysis, 72, 92-104.

Added

• Fit classification and regression trees
• Prediction via most frequent value or mean
• Get predictions as terminal node identifiers in each tree or as a random draw from inbag values in a random tree
