blockwise: Reduced Modeling for Tabular Data with Blockwise Missingness

Supervised learning on tabular data with blockwise missing patterns, using the Blockwise Reduced Modeling (BRM) method of Srinivasan, Currim, and Ram (2025) <doi:10.1287/ijds.2022.9016>. BRM partitions the training data into overlapping subsets based on per-row feature-missing patterns, fits one user-supplied learner per subset with minimal imputation, and at prediction time routes each test instance to the best-matching subset model. The interface is learner-agnostic: any fit-and-predict pair can be plugged in, and convenience specifications are provided for linear models, tree models, random forests, and gradient boosting.
