A variety of improved shrinkage estimators in the area of statistical analysis: unrestricted; restricted; preliminary test; improved preliminary test; Stein; and positive-rule Stein. More details can be found in chapter 7 of Saleh, A. K. Md. E. (2006) <ISBN: 978-0-471-56375-4>.

Creation of imprecise classification trees. They rely on
    probability estimation within each node by means of either the
    imprecise Dirichlet model or the nonparametric predictive
    inference approach. The splitting variable is selected by the
    strategy presented in Fink and Crossman (2013)
    <http://www.sipta.org/isipta13/index.php?id=paper&paper=014.html>,
    but also the original imprecise information gain of Abellan and
    Moral (2003) <doi:10.1002/int.10143> is covered.

Missing values often occur in financial data due to a variety 
    of reasons (errors in the collection process or in the processing stage, 
    lack of asset liquidity, lack of reporting of funds, etc.). However, 
    most data analysis methods expect complete data and cannot be employed 
    with missing values. One convenient way to deal with this issue without 
    having to redesign the data analysis method is to impute the missing 
    values. This package provides an efficient way to impute the missing 
    values based on modeling the time series with a random walk or an 
    autoregressive (AR) model, convenient to model log-prices and log-volumes 
    in financial data. In the current version, the imputation is 
    univariate-based (so no asset correlation is used). In addition,
    outliers can be detected and removed.
    The package is based on the paper:
    J. Liu, S. Kumar, and D. P. Palomar (2019). Parameter Estimation of 
    Heavy-Tailed AR Model With Missing Data Via Stochastic EM. IEEE Trans. on 
    Signal Processing, vol. 67, no. 8, pp. 2159-2172. <doi:10.1109/TSP.2019.2899816>.

The general workflow of most imputation methods is quite
    similar. The aim of this package is to provide parts of this general
    workflow to make the implementation of imputation methods easier. The
    heart of an imputation method is normally the used model. These models
    can be defined using the 'parsnip' package or customized
    specifications. The rest of an imputation method are more technical
    specification e.g. which columns and rows should be used for
    imputation and in which order. These technical specifications can be
    set inside the imputation functions.
