huber_weight

Computes Huber weights for standardized values.
Returns 1 for values within the tuning constant and
<code>k / abs(u)</code> for values outside.

internal

Provides methods for imputation and visualization of
missing values. It includes graphical tools to explore the amount, structure
and patterns of missing and/or imputed values, supporting exploratory
data analysis and helping to investigate potential missingness mechanisms
(details in Alfons, Templ and Filzmoser, <doi:10.1007/s11634-011-0102-y>).
The quality of imputations can be assessed visually using a wide range of
univariate, bivariate and multivariate plots.
The package further provides several imputation methods,
including efficient implementations of k-nearest neighbour and hot-deck
imputation (Kowarik and Templ 2013, <doi:10.18637/jss.v074.i07>),
iterative robust model-based multiple
imputation (Templ 2011, <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2011.04.012>;
Templ 2023, <doi:10.3390/math11122729>), and machine learning–based
approaches such as robust GAM-based multiple imputation
(Templ 2024, <doi:10.1007/s11222-024-10429-1>) as well as random forest
and gradient boosting (XGBoost) imputation
(Niederhametner et al., <doi:10.1177/18747655251339401>).
General background and practical guidance on imputation are provided in the
Springer book by
Templ (2023) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-30073-8>.
