rempsyc vs treasury: at a glance
What is rempsyc?
Publication-ready psychology tables and plots, tracking APA style as closely as the software allows.
rempsyc produces APA-formatted tables and figures for psychology research — nice_table() for results tables, plus plotting helpers for scatter plots, violin plots, densities and simple slopes. Its releases are CRAN submissions that bundle a long run of development versions, so each entry reads as a digest rather than a single change. The most recent, 0.2.0, added point labelling and per-group correlation statistics to nice_scatter and fixed nice_lm() failing on factor covariates with more than two levels.
What is treasury?
A thin Treasury rates wrapper has stopped adding endpoints and started making its tables self-describing.
treasury wraps the US Treasury's published rate feeds — bill rates, par yields, forward rates, long-term extrapolated rates, and the HQM and breakeven inflation curves — into one set of R functions. Since 0.3.0 every function returns a data.table, and 0.5.0 added optional on-disk response caching with a one-day default. The most recent release is about data fidelity rather than reach: identifying columns, correct maturity labels, and locale-safe date parsing.

◆ Current state
rempsyc produces APA-formatted tables and figures for psychology research — nice_table() for results tables, plus plotting helpers for scatter plots, violin plots, densities and simple slopes. Its releases are CRAN submissions that bundle a long run of development versions, so each entry reads as a digest rather than a single change. The most recent, 0.2.0, added point labelling and per-group correlation statistics to nice_scatter and fixed nice_lm() failing on factor covariates with more than two levels.
◆ Where it's heading
Two forces drive this package and neither is its own roadmap. The first is APA style: when the 7th edition advised against beta for standardized coefficients, the package switched its output to italic b with an asterisk. The second is the surrounding ecosystem — formatting is aligned to what lavaanExtra and afex produce, contrast handling was delegated to easystats' modelbased, and Excel correlation matrix export was handed entirely to the correlation package to cut maintenance.
◆ Prediction
The pattern of delegating functionality to specialist packages while keeping the formatting layer is well established and likely continues. Because releases bundle many small dev versions, the next one will probably again mix plotting refinements with fixes surfaced by upstream changes.
treasury
0.0ANALYTICS
A thin Treasury rates wrapper has stopped adding endpoints and started making its tables self-describing.
◆ Current state
treasury wraps the US Treasury's published rate feeds — bill rates, par yields, forward rates, long-term extrapolated rates, and the HQM and breakeven inflation curves — into one set of R functions. Since 0.3.0 every function returns a data.table, and 0.5.0 added optional on-disk response caching with a one-day default. The most recent release is about data fidelity rather than reach: identifying columns, correct maturity labels, and locale-safe date parsing.
◆ Where it's heading
Endpoint coverage looks essentially complete, so the work has moved to the metadata a downstream analyst needs to join and audit results — cusip and maturity_date on bill quotes, the feed's updated_at stamp, and the extrapolation factor behind 2002-2006 long-term rate estimates. Error handling is tightening in the same direction: an out-of-range month now fails with a message instead of quietly returning nothing. That is the profile of a wrapper moving from coverage to correctness, where the remaining bugs are the subtle ones that only surface in other people's locales.
◆ Prediction
Expect further column-level enrichment and input validation on the endpoints already covered rather than new data sources, since the structural pieces — data.table returns and caching — are already in place.
