What is modeltime.resample?

modeltime.resample exists to keep backtesting working as tidymodels shifts underneath it.

modeltime.resample runs time series cross-validation over modeltime models, returning per-resample predictions and accuracy plots. Version 0.3.0 is the substantive release in view: tune 2.0.0 compatibility, deterministic seeding via withr, guaranteed .predictions output, and clearer failures when resample fits break. The three releases before it are dependency chores.

What is n2kanalysis?

n2kanalysis has spent eight years wiring INLA models to an S3 bucket.

n2kanalysis is the analysis framework behind INBO's nature monitoring networks, wrapping INLA model fitting with a manifest-driven pipeline whose intermediate objects live in S3. Capability has arrived in discrete lumps: hurdle models with imputation and a manifest-to-bash converter in 0.3.1, SPDE spatial elements in INLA models in 0.4.0, and in 0.4.1 a connect_inbo_s3() function that makes temporary credentials available to the R functions.

modeltime.resample vs n2kanalysis: editorial side-by-side

M0.0

modeltime.resample exists to keep backtesting working as tidymodels shifts underneath it.

◆ Current state

modeltime.resample runs time series cross-validation over modeltime models, returning per-resample predictions and accuracy plots. Version 0.3.0 is the substantive release in view: tune 2.0.0 compatibility, deterministic seeding via withr, guaranteed .predictions output, and clearer failures when resample fits break. The three releases before it are dependency chores.

◆ Where it's heading

Every entry here is compatibility work against something upstream — hardhat 1.0.0, workflows regression mode, then tune 2.0.0 twice. The 0.3.0 notes show a second concern emerging alongside it: making failures legible, with .notes on failed fits, actionable errors from unnest_modeltime_resamples(), and fallback logic when prediction columns go missing across versions. Reproducibility gets the same treatment through explicit seeding.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to track the next tidymodels breaking change, with any new work continuing on error reporting rather than resampling strategies.

n2kanalysis has spent eight years wiring INLA models to an S3 bucket.

◆ Current state

n2kanalysis is the analysis framework behind INBO's nature monitoring networks, wrapping INLA model fitting with a manifest-driven pipeline whose intermediate objects live in S3. Capability has arrived in discrete lumps: hurdle models with imputation and a manifest-to-bash converter in 0.3.1, SPDE spatial elements in INLA models in 0.4.0, and in 0.4.1 a connect_inbo_s3() function that makes temporary credentials available to the R functions.

◆ Where it's heading

Development is slow, institutional, and driven by the modeling needs of specific monitoring programmes rather than a product roadmap. The pattern across the window is a new model class when the ecology requires one, then a stretch of infrastructure work around storage, credentials and pipeline efficiency. The 0.4.1 release is characteristic — a credentials helper, better result retrieval, more tests and a code-style pass, with no modeling change at all. Much of the early history is recorded only as merge-commit titles, so the release record thins out the further back it goes.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next substantive release to add another INLA model variant as a monitoring programme needs it, with S3 and credential handling continuing to absorb the maintenance effort in between.
