epiworldR vs rjd3highfreq

epiworldR vs rjd3highfreq: at a glance
What is epiworldR?
epiworldR is a thin R shell whose releases track the C++ simulator underneath it
Almost every release here is a version bump of the underlying epiworld C++ library, wrapped and pushed to CRAN. The substantive R-side work is narrow and consistent: exposing simulation outputs that were already computed but not reachable from R — outbreak size, active cases, hospitalizations and their savers. The newest release addresses an AddressSanitizer finding, which is the kind of thing CRAN checks surface on a compiled package.
What is rjd3highfreq?
rjd3highfreq ships whatever the Java side ships, and only occasionally says what that was.
An R wrapper around JDemetra+ routines for seasonal adjustment of high-frequency time series, built on fractional airline decomposition. Only three releases are on record, roughly one every six months, and two of them describe nothing beyond updated .jar files. The package is a thin binding whose substance lives in the Java libraries it packages, and the release notes reflect that literally.

◆ Current state
Almost every release here is a version bump of the underlying epiworld C++ library, wrapped and pushed to CRAN. The substantive R-side work is narrow and consistent: exposing simulation outputs that were already computed but not reachable from R — outbreak size, active cases, hospitalizations and their savers. The newest release addresses an AddressSanitizer finding, which is the kind of thing CRAN checks surface on a compiled package.
◆ Where it's heading
The R package's job is staying current with the simulator and satisfying CRAN, not evolving its own interface. What direction it has shows in which model outputs get exposed next, and in a steady tidy-up of the build — the custom configure script was dropped in favour of R's built-in C++17 and OpenMP settings, and test coverage has been filled in across several releases with automated assistance.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to track another epiworld version bump, with any R-side addition most likely being one more exposed metric or saver, following the pattern of get_hospitalizations and get_outbreak_size.
rjd3highfreq
0.0ANALYTICS
rjd3highfreq ships whatever the Java side ships, and only occasionally says what that was.
◆ Current state
An R wrapper around JDemetra+ routines for seasonal adjustment of high-frequency time series, built on fractional airline decomposition. Only three releases are on record, roughly one every six months, and two of them describe nothing beyond updated .jar files. The package is a thin binding whose substance lives in the Java libraries it packages, and the release notes reflect that literally.
◆ Where it's heading
The one release with detail points at where the work actually is: 2.4.1 exposes eps and deps parameters on fractionalAirlineDecomposition(), controlling the optimisation routine's convergence precision and the step size for its numerical derivatives. That is tuning access for users whose series were not converging well under the defaults, and it is the only user-facing surface change visible here. The earlier entry even appears under a different package name, rjd3xhighfreq, which suggests some instability in how this line is published.
◆ Prediction
Expect further releases tracking JDemetra+ .jar versions, with R-level parameters exposed only as specific estimation problems surface; the entries do not support a firmer read than that.
