An R package for multiple imputation using chained random forests. Implemented methods can handle missing data in mixed types of variables by using prediction-based or node-based conditional distributions constructed using random forests. For prediction-based imputation, the method based on the empirical distribution of out-of-bag prediction errors of random forests and the method based on normality assumption for prediction errors of random forests are provided for imputing continuous variables. And the method based on predicted probabilities is provided for imputing categorical variables. For node-based imputation, the method based on the conditional distribution formed by the predicting nodes of random forests, and the method based on proximity measures of random forests are provided. More details of the statistical methods can be found in Hong et al. (2020) <arXiv:2004.14823>.

Researchers commonly need to summarize scientific information, a process known as evidence synthesis'. The first stage of a synthesis process (such as a systematic review or meta-analysis) is to download a list of references from academic search engines such as Web of Knowledge or Scopus'. The traditional approach to systematic review is then to sort these data manually, first by locating and removing duplicated entries, and then screening to remove irrelevant content by viewing titles and abstracts (in that order). revtools provides interfaces for each of these tasks. An alternative approach, however, is to draw on tools from machine learning to visualise patterns in the corpus. In this case, you can use revtools to render ordinations of text drawn from article titles, keywords and abstracts, and interactively select or exclude individual references, words or topics.

This package provides a quick method for visualizing non-aggregated line-list or aggregated census data stratified by age and one or two categorical variables (e.g. gender and health status) with any number of values.

Flexible framework for ecological restoration planning. It aims to identify priority areas for restoration efforts using optimization algorithms (based on Justeau-Allaire et al. 2021 <doi:10.1111/1365-2664.13803>). Priority areas can be identified by maximizing landscape indices, such as the effective mesh size (Jaeger 2000 <doi:10.1023/A:1008129329289>), or the integral index of connectivity (Pascual-Hortal & Saura 2006 <doi:10.1007/s10980-006-0013-z>). Additionally, constraints can be used to ensure that priority areas exhibit particular characteristics (e.g., ensure that particular places are not selected for restoration, ensure that priority areas form a single contiguous network). Furthermore, multiple near-optimal solutions can be generated to explore multiple options in restoration planning. The package leverages the Choco-solver software to perform optimization using constraint programming (CP) techniques (<https://choco-solver.org/>).
