Autoencoding Random Forests ('RFAE') provide a method to autoencode mixed-type tabular data using Random Forests ('RF'), which involves projecting the data to a latent feature space of user-chosen dimensionality (usually a lower dimension), and then decoding the latent representations back into the input space. The encoding stage is useful for feature engineering and data visualisation tasks, akin to how principal component analysis ('PCA') is used, and the decoding stage is useful for compression and denoising tasks. At its core, RFAE is a post-processing pipeline on a trained random forest model. This means that it can accept any trained RF of ranger object type: RF', URF or ARF'. Because of this, it inherits Random Forests robust performance and capacity to seamlessly handle mixed-type tabular data. For more details, see Vu et al. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.21441>.

Least Angle Regression ("LAR") is a model selection algorithm; a useful and less greedy version of traditional forward selection methods. A simple modification of the LAR algorithm implements Tibshirani's Lasso; the Lasso modification of LARS calculates the entire Lasso path of coefficients for a given problem at the cost of a single least squares fit. Another LARS modification efficiently implements epsilon Forward Stagewise linear regression.

Draws systematic samples from a population that follows linear trend. The function returns a matrix comprising of the required samples as its column vectors. The samples produced are highly efficient and the inter sampling variance is minimum. The scheme will be useful in various field like Bioinformatics where the samples are expensive and must be precise in reflecting the population by possessing least sampling variance.
