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 tern.mmrm?

An MMRM tabulation package that has published nothing since its 2024 CRAN releases.

tern.mmrm wraps mixed models for repeated measures into the tern tabulation and plotting layer used by teal clinical modules. The visible history ends with three CRAN releases in mid-to-late 2024; before that the feed carries only automated version bumps from 2022, three of which have just been backfilled into the record. The most recent substantive change adds axis limit arguments to the LS-means plot.

modeltime.resample vs tern.mmrm: 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.

0.0

An MMRM tabulation package that has published nothing since its 2024 CRAN releases.

◆ Current state

tern.mmrm wraps mixed models for repeated measures into the tern tabulation and plotting layer used by teal clinical modules. The visible history ends with three CRAN releases in mid-to-late 2024; before that the feed carries only automated version bumps from 2022, three of which have just been backfilled into the record. The most recent substantive change adds axis limit arguments to the LS-means plot.

◆ Where it's heading

Content per release is thin and largely organisational: a maintainer change, replacing scda with random.cdisc.data in vignettes, and adapting to new {mmrm} versions. The package appears to be in maintenance, tracking its upstream dependency rather than developing independently. The 2022 entries now visible are release-automation commits, not releases in any meaningful sense.

◆ Prediction

Nothing here signals new functionality; the realistic next event is another compatibility release when {mmrm} or {rtables} changes underneath it.
