title: 'forestBalance: Balancing Confounder Distributions with Forest Energy Balancing'
version: 0.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.forestBalance
abstract: Estimates average treatment effects using kernel energy balancing with random
  forest similarity kernels. A multivariate random forest jointly models covariates,
  outcome, and treatment to build a similarity kernel between observations. This kernel
  is then used for energy balancing to create weights that control for confounding.
  The method is described in De and Huling (2025) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2512.18069>.
