Package PRTree updated to version 1.0.2 with previous version 1.0.1 dated 2025-10-18

Title: Probabilistic Regression Trees
Description: Implementation of Probabilistic Regression Trees (PRTree), providing functions for model fitting and prediction, with specific adaptations to handle missing values. The main computations are implemented in 'Fortran' for high efficiency. The package is based on the PRTree methodology described in Alkhoury et al. (2020), "Smooth and Consistent Probabilistic Regression Trees" <https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2020/file/8289889263db4a40463e3f358bb7c7a1-Paper.pdf>. Details on the treatment of missing data and implementation aspects are presented in Prass, T.S.; Neimaier, A.S.; Pumi, G. (2025), "Handling Missing Data in Probabilistic Regression Trees: Methods and Implementation in R" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.03634>.

Package missForest updated to version 1.6.1 with previous version 1.5 dated 2022-04-14

Title: Nonparametric Missing Value Imputation using Random Forest
Description: The function 'missForest' in this package is used to impute missing values particularly in the case of mixed-type data. It uses a random forest (via 'ranger' or 'randomForest') trained on the observed values of a data matrix to predict the missing values. It can be used to impute continuous and/or categorical data including complex interactions and non-linear relations. It yields an out-of-bag (OOB) imputation error estimate without the need of a test set or elaborate cross-validation. It can be run in parallel to save computation time.
