Examples of different omics data types include\ngene expression measurements, mutation data and copy number\nvariation measurements. Block forest are presented in Hornung &\nWright (2019). The package includes four other random forest\nvariants for multi-omics data: 'RandomBlock', 'BlockVarSel',\n'VarProb', and 'SplitWeights'. These were also considered in\nHornung & Wright (2019), but performed worse than block forest\nin their comparison study based on 20 real multi-omics data\nsets. Therefore, we recommend to use block forest\n('BlockForest') in applications. The other random forest\nvariants can, however, be consulted for academic purposes, for\nexample, in the context of further methodological developments.\nReference: Hornung, R. & Wright, M. N.
