CRAN release 2.4.0

Future Output API

• New argument data_only = TRUE to control if only the imputed data should be returned (default), or an object of class "missRanger". This object contains the imputed data and infos like OOB prediction errors, fixing #28. The value FALSE will later becoming the default in {missRanger 3.0.0}. This will be announced via deprecation cycle.

Enhancements

• New argument keep_forests = FALSE. Should the random forests of the best iteration (the one that generated the final imputed data) be added to the "missRanger" object? Note that this will use a lot of memory. Only relevant if data_only = FALSE. This solves #54.

Bug fixes

• In case the algorithm did not converge, the data of the last iteration was returned instead of the current one. This has been fixed.

CRAN release 2.3.0

Major improvements

• missRanger() now works with syntactically wrong variable names like "1bad:variable". This solves an old issue, recently popping up in this new issue.
• missRanger() now works with any number of features, as long as the formula is left at its default, i.e., . ~ .. This solves this issue.

Other changes

• Documentation improvement.
• ranger() is now called via the x/y interface, not the formula interface anymore.
