#' Weighted Nearest Neighbor Imputation of Missing Values using Selected Variables
#'
#' This package introduces new non-parametric tools for the imputation of missing values in high-dimensional data.   
#'   It includes weighted nearest neighbor
#'   imputation methods that use distances for selected covariates. The careful
#'   selection of distances that carry information about the missing values yields an imputation
#'   tool. It does not require pre-specified \eqn{k}, unlike other kNN methods. 
#'   It can be used to impute missing values in high-dimensional data when \eqn{n<p}.
