Description: 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>.
