Package: caretEnsemble 4.0.2

caretEnsemble: Ensembles of Caret Models

Functions for creating ensembles of caret models: caretList() and caretStack(). caretList() is a convenience function for fitting multiple caret::train() models to the same dataset. caretStack() will make linear or non-linear combinations of these models, using a caret::train() model as a meta-model.
