What is GeoThinneR?
Spatial thinning grows a result object, and the API breaks to make room for it
GeoThinneR removes spatially redundant occurrence records before species distribution modelling. Version 2.0.0 restructured it around a GeoThinned S3 class with print, summary, plot and trial-accessor methods, replacing the bare logical vectors earlier versions returned, and reorganised the methods into three named strategies — distance, grid and precision — with the search algorithm as a separate argument. The two releases since have added a priority system for choosing which of several tied points to drop.
What is traumar?
Trauma registry statistics in R, tightening the numbers it reports against the literature.
traumar computes trauma-centre performance measures from registry data, including relative mortality metrics, SEQIC quality indicators and predicted survival probability. The recent releases are dominated by correctness rather than coverage: 1.2.5 changed how the denominator for SEQIC indicator 7 is derived so it reflects the definitive care population rather than a raw row count, and 1.2.3 realigned probability_of_survival() with published coefficients. Version 1.2.6 completes a deprecation, turning the old n_decimal argument into an error.

Spatial thinning grows a result object, and the API breaks to make room for it
◆ Current state
GeoThinneR removes spatially redundant occurrence records before species distribution modelling. Version 2.0.0 restructured it around a GeoThinned S3 class with print, summary, plot and trial-accessor methods, replacing the bare logical vectors earlier versions returned, and reorganised the methods into three named strategies — distance, grid and precision — with the search algorithm as a separate argument. The two releases since have added a priority system for choosing which of several tied points to drop.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is moving from a function that returns an answer to a tool that returns something you can interrogate. Multiple thinning trials are first-class — you can ask for the largest, fetch a specific one, summarise one — and the recent work is about making the choice among tied candidates controllable rather than random. Dependency discipline runs alongside: the R-tree method was dropped when its package was not on CRAN, and spatial coverage degrades to NA rather than failing when s2 is missing.
◆ Prediction
The priority mechanism now covers all three strategies and the last release was an overflow fix in the local kd-tree path at large sizes, so scale is where the pressure is. More work on the distance methods at large N is the likelier next step than another strategy.
traumar
0.0INFRA · APIS
Trauma registry statistics in R, tightening the numbers it reports against the literature.
◆ Current state
traumar computes trauma-centre performance measures from registry data, including relative mortality metrics, SEQIC quality indicators and predicted survival probability. The recent releases are dominated by correctness rather than coverage: 1.2.5 changed how the denominator for SEQIC indicator 7 is derived so it reflects the definitive care population rather than a raw row count, and 1.2.3 realigned probability_of_survival() with published coefficients. Version 1.2.6 completes a deprecation, turning the old n_decimal argument into an error.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a package whose outputs are reported numbers, and it is behaving accordingly: the notable changes in this window alter results rather than add features. A denominator computed as a row count instead of a filtered population, and a survival calculation not matching the coefficients it cites, are both the kind of defect that quietly propagates into published figures, and both were corrected here. Around that sit in-house validation helpers written deliberately to avoid a new dependency, and a steady tidy-up of tests and tooling.
◆ Prediction
Expect the validation family introduced in 1.2.4 to be applied more widely across the package's entry points, now that it exists and is deliberately kept internal. Further SEQIC indicators being reviewed against their definitions looks likely given indicator 7 needed it, though the entries name no specific one as next.
