modeltime.resample vs trias
A side-by-side editorial comparison of modeltime.resample and trias — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
modeltime.resample vs trias: at a glance
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 trias?
Belgium's invasive-species indicator toolkit is in steady refinement, one plotting edge case at a time.
trias computes and visualizes indicators for the Belgian Tracking Invasive Alien Species project — emergence detection via GAMs, introduction pathway breakdowns following CBD categories, and native range trends. The recent releases are narrow: GAM plots can now be produced without textual annotation when the model cannot be fitted, and apply_decision_rules() no longer supplies a default for a required argument.

modeltime.resample
0.0ANALYTICS
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.
trias
0.0ANALYTICS
Belgium's invasive-species indicator toolkit is in steady refinement, one plotting edge case at a time.
◆ Current state
trias computes and visualizes indicators for the Belgian Tracking Invasive Alien Species project — emergence detection via GAMs, introduction pathway breakdowns following CBD categories, and native range trends. The recent releases are narrow: GAM plots can now be produced without textual annotation when the model cannot be fitted, and apply_decision_rules() no longer supplies a default for a required argument.
◆ Where it's heading
Development runs in small, fast patches concentrated on making the indicator functions survive imperfect real-world input — pathways absent from the data, GAMs that will not converge, checklist files with unexpected columns. A second thread trims the package's own surface in favor of the data it ships, deprecating pathways_cbd() in favor of using the pathwayscbd data frame directly, while get_nubkeys() extends reach into GBIF Backbone taxon key resolution.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued patch-level hardening of the visualization functions and further reliance on GBIF services for taxon resolution, with no sign of a structural change to the indicator set.

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