Meta-package unifying the easystats framework for statistical modeling in R

github.com/easystats/easystats ↗

The easystats meta-package is install tooling wrapped around a relicensed ecosystem.

r ecosystemmeta-packagestatistical reportinglicensinginstallation tooling
◆Current state
easystats is the meta-package for the easystats ecosystem, which spans insight, parameters, performance and their siblings. It ships almost no statistics of its own; its releases add installation helpers, ecosystem introspection functions and vignettes. The consequential release in this window is 0.7.0, which moved the whole ecosystem to an MIT license.
◆Where it's heading
Work concentrates on making the ecosystem legible and installable as a unit: easystats_packages() to enumerate it, easystats_citations() to count its citations, pak and r-universe support to install it, and a complete-workflow vignette to show it in use. Underneath that, 0.7.0 settled the licensing and formalized the author list. The pattern is a project tending its own boundaries rather than adding capability.
◆Prediction
The recent additions are all introspection and installation helpers, so the next release most likely adds another of those or refreshes component versions rather than changing what the ecosystem does.

◆Recent moves

  1. 1y ago

    easystats_citations() added; install_latest() gains a github source

    Adds easystats_citations() to total Google Scholar citations across the ecosystem's publications and a github option to install_latest() for pulling from main. Both continue the meta-package's role of describing and installing the ecosystem rather than extending it.

    Complete-workflow vignette added; install_suggested() fix

    Adds a vignette walking through a full easystats workflow and fixes install_suggested() failing to pull hard dependencies of suggested packages. Documentation plus one contributed repair.

    easystats_packages() added; pak used for installs when available

    Adds easystats_packages() to enumerate the ecosystem programmatically and routes easystats_update() and install_suggested() through pak when it is installed. Small, but it makes the ecosystem boundary something code can query.

    R version policy vignette added

    Documents the R version policy shared across the ecosystem and clears CRAN check issues. Governance documentation rather than functionality.

    Fix for development package version detection

    Fixes version detection when CRAN and GitHub carry identical version numbers for a development package. A single-issue patch in the install tooling.

    Ecosystem relicensed to MIT; two new authors added

    ⚡ SPARK

    The one release in this window that changes the terms on which easystats can be used rather than how it is installed, moving the ecosystem to MIT and expanding the author list. Everything since has been tooling around the boundary this release drew.
