delaporte vs rempsyc: at a glance
What is delaporte?
A Fortran-backed Delaporte distribution package where every release is compiler and CRAN weather.
Delaporte supplies the density, distribution, quantile and random-generation functions for the Delaporte distribution — a Poisson-negative-binomial convolution used for overdispersed count data — implemented in Fortran and called through C. The only user-facing addition in the visible history is explicit OpenMP thread control via getDelapThreads() and setDelapThreads() at 8.2.0.
What is rempsyc?
Publication-ready psychology tables and plots, tracking APA style as closely as the software allows.
rempsyc produces APA-formatted tables and figures for psychology research — nice_table() for results tables, plus plotting helpers for scatter plots, violin plots, densities and simple slopes. Its releases are CRAN submissions that bundle a long run of development versions, so each entry reads as a digest rather than a single change. The most recent, 0.2.0, added point labelling and per-group correlation statistics to nice_scatter and fixed nice_lm() failing on factor covariates with more than two levels.

delaporte
0.0ANALYTICS
A Fortran-backed Delaporte distribution package where every release is compiler and CRAN weather.
◆ Current state
Delaporte supplies the density, distribution, quantile and random-generation functions for the Delaporte distribution — a Poisson-negative-binomial convolution used for overdispersed count data — implemented in Fortran and called through C. The only user-facing addition in the visible history is explicit OpenMP thread control via getDelapThreads() and setDelapThreads() at 8.2.0.
◆ Where it's heading
The maintenance burden here is portability, not statistics. Recent entries track a Fortran suffix change for Intel compiler compatibility, architecture-specific test tolerances, type-safety corrections on values crossing the C-to-Fortran boundary, and a thread-count variable relocated from R options to an environment variable to follow an upstream R commit. The distribution functions themselves are settled; what changes is how the compiled code is built and checked across CRAN's platform matrix.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to follow another CRAN toolchain or Writing R Extensions policy change, as the last several have. Two of the four visible entries carry no notes at all, so this feed will keep understating what actually shipped.

◆ Current state
rempsyc produces APA-formatted tables and figures for psychology research — nice_table() for results tables, plus plotting helpers for scatter plots, violin plots, densities and simple slopes.

The most recent, 0.2.0, added point labelling and per-group correlation statistics to nice_scatter and fixed nice_lm() failing on factor covariates with more than two levels.
◆ Where it's heading
Two forces drive this package and neither is its own roadmap. The first is APA style: when the 7th edition advised against beta for standardized coefficients, the package switched its output to italic b with an asterisk. The second is the surrounding ecosystem — formatting is aligned to what lavaanExtra and afex produce, contrast handling was delegated to easystats' modelbased, and Excel correlation matrix export was handed entirely to the correlation package to cut maintenance.
◆ Prediction
The pattern of delegating functionality to specialist packages while keeping the formatting layer is well established and likely continues. Because releases bundle many small dev versions, the next one will probably again mix plotting refinements with fixes surfaced by upstream changes.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between delaporte and rempsyc?
Both compete on the same themes — r-package — within Analytics. delaporte and rempsyc are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band). See the at-a-glance table above for a side-by-side breakdown of velocity, recent sparks, and editorial themes.
Is delaporte better than rempsyc?
Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. delaporte and rempsyc are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
