campsismod vs statpsych
A side-by-side editorial comparison of campsismod and statpsych — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
campsismod vs statpsych: at a glance
What is campsismod?
The model layer under Campsis, renamed in step with it and increasingly JSON-addressable.
Campsismod holds the model object layer for the Campsis pharmacometric simulation suite: reading, editing and writing model definitions that Campsis then simulates. Its recent releases track a single programme, adding a JSON route into model objects and then renaming the whole API to snake_case in 1.4.0, a week before Campsis 1.9.0 did the same. Release notes are terse issue lists, so the reasoning behind each change has to be read from the sibling package.
What is statpsych?
A statistics catalogue for psychology that grows by the release and rarely changes shape.
statpsych supplies confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power calculations and sample-size planning for the designs psychology researchers actually run, exposed as several hundred small named functions rather than a modelling framework. Version 2.0.0 adds eight functions across logistic model performance, Kendall tau-a intervals and sample sizes, intraclass correlation testing, Geary kurtosis and Mann-Whitney power, and retires three names in favour of generalised replacements. The major version number reflects those removals rather than a change in how the package is used.

The model layer under Campsis, renamed in step with it and increasingly JSON-addressable.
◆ Current state
Campsismod holds the model object layer for the Campsis pharmacometric simulation suite: reading, editing and writing model definitions that Campsis then simulates. Its recent releases track a single programme, adding a JSON route into model objects and then renaming the whole API to snake_case in 1.4.0, a week before Campsis 1.9.0 did the same. Release notes are terse issue lists, so the reasoning behind each change has to be read from the sibling package.
◆ Where it's heading
This package moves when Campsis needs it to move. The JSON constructor landed here in 1.3.0 and reached Campsis datasets a day later; parameter uncertainty generation was handed down from Campsis in that package's 1.6.0; and the snake_case migration started here before propagating up. That ordering makes Campsismod the place where suite-wide interface decisions are taken first, even though the visible payoff shows up in Campsis.
◆ Prediction
Expect Campsismod to keep absorbing model-level responsibilities that Campsis currently handles, and to extend the JSON mapping to whatever parts of the model object it does not yet cover. The entries give no signal on a 2.0, and with the rename already spent there is little reason to expect one soon.
statpsych
0.0INFRA · APIS
A statistics catalogue for psychology that grows by the release and rarely changes shape.
◆ Current state
statpsych supplies confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power calculations and sample-size planning for the designs psychology researchers actually run, exposed as several hundred small named functions rather than a modelling framework. Version 2.0.0 adds eight functions across logistic model performance, Kendall tau-a intervals and sample sizes, intraclass correlation testing, Geary kurtosis and Mann-Whitney power, and retires three names in favour of generalised replacements. The major version number reflects those removals rather than a change in how the package is used.
◆ Where it's heading
Every release in this window is the same shape: a list of new functions, occasionally a rename. The package grows by filling cells in a grid of estimand, design and inferential goal, and 2.0.0 is notable only for finally deleting the three names its generalised replacements had superseded. That makes it a reference library whose value is coverage and stability, not direction, and the entries give no sign of that changing.
◆ Prediction
Expect the accretion to continue along the same axes, with sample-size and power counterparts filled in for estimands that currently have interval functions but no planning ones. The 2.0.0 deletions suggest occasional consolidation passes when a generalised function makes older specific ones redundant.
