Mediation, Moderation and Moderated-Mediation After Model Fitting

github.com/sfcheung/manymome ↗

Steady quarterly releases behind a feed that shows almost none of what changed.

mediation-analysissemr-packagecranbootstrap
◆Current state
manymome computes indirect and moderated effects for path-analysis and SEM models using bootstrap and Monte Carlo intervals. The four most recent CRAN releases (0.3.2 through 0.3.6) publish as bare pointers to the package's own NEWS page, so the feed carries no changelog text for any of them. Where content is visible, at 0.3.1 and 0.2.9, the work is fitting-engine breadth and speed rather than new methodology.
◆Where it's heading
The legible arc runs toward turning the q_* quick-mediation wrappers into a complete workflow: lavaan::sem fitting with full information maximum likelihood for missing data, a plot method, and user-specified mediation models, alongside repeated optimization of do_boot() and do_mc(). Cadence is roughly quarterly and has held for two years. What the last four versions actually contain cannot be read from this feed.
◆Prediction
Expect continued quarterly CRAN releases extending the q_* family; beyond that the entries shown do not support a confident call on direction.

    0.3.6 CRAN release

    A stable CRAN release whose feed entry is only a link to the package page and NEWS file. It confirms the quarterly cadence held but gives no read on what changed.

    0.3.4 CRAN release

    Another pointer-only CRAN release. The third in a row with no changelog text in the feed, which is why the recent arc has to be read off 0.3.1 instead.

    0.3.3 CRAN release

    A CRAN release carrying no visible detail. It sits inside the steady quarterly rhythm the package has kept since 2024.

    0.3.2 CRAN release

    The first of the four consecutive pointer-only releases. Direction from this point forward is not readable from the feed.

    0.3.1 CRAN release

    The last release with a full changelog: the q_* functions gain path-analysis fitting through lavaan::sem with FIML for missing data, plus a plot method and user-specified mediation models. This is the clearest evidence of the q_* wrappers being built out into a full workflow.

    0.2.9 CRAN release

    Speed work on do_mc() and do_boot(), the two resampling engines behind every interval the package reports. Consistent with a package tuning its existing core rather than expanding scope.
