caretEnsemble is an R package that extends the functionality of the caret package by providing tools to create and analyze ensemble models. Ensemble models combine the predictions of multiple base models to improve overall performance.

I. Key Features:

1. Unified Interface:

• Provides a unified interface for building and tuning ensemble models using different base learners.

2. Ensemble Creation:

• Allows the creation of ensemble models by combining the predictions of multiple base models.

3. Tuning and Optimization:

• Supports tuning and optimization of ensemble models, enabling the selection of optimal hyperparameters.

4. Resampling Strategies:

• Utilizes resampling strategies, such as cross-validation, to assess and compare the performance of ensemble models.

5. Weighted Averaging:

• Enables the use of weighted averaging for combining predictions, allowing users to assign different weights to individual models.

6. Parallel Processing:

• Supports parallel…
