A toolkit for stratified medicine, subgroup identification, and precision medicine.
    Current tools include (1) filtering models (reduce covariate space), (2) patient-level estimate
    models (counterfactual patient-level quantities, such as the conditional average treatment effect), 
    (3) subgroup identification models (find subsets of patients with similar treatment effects), 
    and (4) treatment effect estimation and inference (for the overall population and discovered 
    subgroups). These tools can be customized and are directly used in PRISM 
    (patient response identifiers for stratified medicine; Jemielita and Mehrotra 2019
    <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1912.03337>).

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>.
