medRxiv [Preprint]. 2024 Jun 25:2024.06.24.24309416. doi: 10.1101/2024.06.24.24309416.

Abstract

Combining predictions from multiple models into an ensemble is a widely used practice across many fields with demonstrated performance benefits. The R package hubEnsembles provides a flexible framework for ensembling various types of predictions, including point estimates and probabilistic predictions. A range of common methods for generating ensembles are supported, including weighted averages, quantile averages, and linear pools. The hubEnsembles package fits within a broader framework of open-source software and data tools called the "hubverse", which facilitates the development and management of collaborative modelling exercises.
