Overview

About

Maintained by Josh DyceFirst published 2026-06-301 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Extends the 'caret' framework to support late fusion workflows, enabling users to train models independently across multiple data modalities and combine their predictions into a single meta-model. Designed for developers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers alike, 'caretMultimodal' aims to make late fusion ensemble modelling as accessible and flexible as single-dataset workflows in 'caret'. Late fusion methods are based on Wolpert (1992) doi:10.1016/S0893-6080(05)80023-1.

grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
