ichimoku vs OneSampleMR
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ichimoku and OneSampleMR — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
ichimoku vs OneSampleMR: at a glance
What is ichimoku?
A cloud-chart package quietly swapping its dependencies for its maintainer's own libraries.
ichimoku implements Ichimoku Kinko Hyo cloud charts, strategy backtesting and an OANDA data interface for R. Recent releases are almost entirely plumbing: 1.5.7 drops RcppSimdJson in favor of secretbase for JSON parsing, following earlier releases that moved hashing to secretbase and raised the nanonext and mirai floors. The charting and strategy surface has been stable since the 1.5.0 line.
What is OneSampleMR?
OneSampleMR found that argument order in a formula was silently changing its estimates
OneSampleMR implements one-sample Mendelian randomization estimators — two-stage predictor substitution, two-stage residual inclusion, and Sanderson-Windmeijer conditional F statistics for instrument strength. The package spent its first years on packaging and dependency upkeep. The 2026 releases turn to substance: broader support for models fitted elsewhere, then a correctness fix for a defect that depended on nothing more than where covariates appeared in a formula.

A cloud-chart package quietly swapping its dependencies for its maintainer's own libraries.
◆ Current state
ichimoku implements Ichimoku Kinko Hyo cloud charts, strategy backtesting and an OANDA data interface for R. Recent releases are almost entirely plumbing: 1.5.7 drops RcppSimdJson in favor of secretbase for JSON parsing, following earlier releases that moved hashing to secretbase and raised the nanonext and mirai floors. The charting and strategy surface has been stable since the 1.5.0 line.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible arc is consolidation onto the maintainer's own package family — secretbase for hashing and now JSON, nanonext and mirai for concurrency — which steadily removes third-party and Rcpp-based dependencies from the install chain. Feature work is sporadic and narrow when it comes: a faster POSIXct formatter exported as a utility, a multi-session option for the Shiny app, and a fix for asymmetric strategies that failed to emit a final entry signal.
◆ Prediction
Expect further dependency consolidation as the sibling packages gain capabilities, with ichimoku adopting them shortly after release rather than shipping new charting features.

OneSampleMR found that argument order in a formula was silently changing its estimates
◆ Current state
OneSampleMR implements one-sample Mendelian randomization estimators — two-stage predictor substitution, two-stage residual inclusion, and Sanderson-Windmeijer conditional F statistics for instrument strength. The package spent its first years on packaging and dependency upkeep. The 2026 releases turn to substance: broader support for models fitted elsewhere, then a correctness fix for a defect that depended on nothing more than where covariates appeared in a formula.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads. The first is reach — fsw() now reads models fitted by AER::ivreg(), estimatr::iv_robust() and fixest::feols() in addition to ivreg::ivreg(), which makes conditional F statistics available without refitting in the package's own idiom. The second is hardening: clear errors when more than one exposure is given or when a variable collides with the reserved name y, and print methods that no longer fail on user-specified t0 with log or logit links. Both come largely from user reports rather than a plan.
◆ Prediction
The estimator-support work has been adding one IV-fitting package at a time on outside contributions, so further backends are the likeliest next content — the package's own estimators have been stable since first release.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between ichimoku and OneSampleMR?
They serve adjacent needs but don't currently overlap on shipped themes. ichimoku and OneSampleMR 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 ichimoku better than OneSampleMR?
Sparkpulse doesn't pick a winner — we score release velocity, not feature parity. ichimoku and OneSampleMR are shipping at a similar cadence (velocity 0.0 vs 0.0, both within Sparkpulse's "active" band).
