Random Forest-like tree ensemble that works with groups of predictor variables. When building a tree, a number of variables is taken randomly from each group separately, thus ensuring that it considers variables from each group for the splits. Useful when rows contain information about different things (e.g. user information and product information) and it's not sensible to make a prediction with information from only one group of variables, or when there are far more variables from one group than the other and it's desired to have groups appear evenly on trees.
    Trees are grown using the C5.0 algorithm rather than the usual CART algorithm. Supports parallelization (multithreaded), missing values in predictors, and categorical variables (without doing One-Hot encoding in the processing). Can also be used to create a regular (non-stratified) Random Forest-like model, but made up of C5.0 trees and with some additional control options.
    As it's built with C5.0 trees, it works only for classification (not for regression).

Integrating a stratified structure in the population in a sampling design can considerably reduce the variance of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator. We propose in this package different methods to handle the selection of a balanced sample in stratified population. For more details see Raphaël Jauslin, Esther Eustache and Yves Tillé (2021) <doi:10.1007/s42081-021-00134-y>. The package propose also a method based on optimal transport and balanced sampling, see Raphaël Jauslin and Yves Tillé <doi:10.1016/j.jspi.2022.12.003>.

Provides functions for stratified sampling and assigning custom labels to data, ensuring randomness within groups. The package supports various sampling methods such as stratified, cluster, and systematic sampling. It allows users to apply transformations and customize the sampling process. This package can be useful for statistical analysis and data preparation tasks.

Includes bases for litholog generation: graphical functions
    based on R base graphics, interval management functions and svg importation 
    functions among others. Also include stereographic projection functions, 
    and other functions made to deal with large datasets while keeping options
    to get into the details of the data.
