longitree: Decision Tree Analysis for Longitudinal Measurement Data

Implements tree-based methods for longitudinal data. The package constructs decision trees that evaluate both the main effect of a covariate and its interaction with time through a weighted splitting criterion. It supports single-tree construction, bootstrap-based multiple-tree selection, and tree visualisation. For methodological details, see Obata and Sugimoto (2026) <doi:10.1007/s11634-025-00665-2>.
