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 gradient boosting 
    (XGBoost) and transformer-based methods 
    (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>.
