Model BIC Posterior Probability

github.com/sfcheung/modelbpp ↗

A structural-equation model comparison package whose feed carries links, not release notes.

◆Current state
modelbpp computes model-implied Bayesian posterior probabilities for structural equation models, one of several R packages from the same author covering moderation, mediation and model-comparison workflows. Its release feed is not a changelog: every entry points at the package website rather than describing what changed, so the substance of each release is not visible here. Version numbering has moved steadily from 0.1.x to 0.4.0 across roughly three years.
◆Where it's heading
What can be read from this feed is cadence rather than content — releases clustered noticeably more tightly through 2026 than in the preceding two years, with three in five months against two in the prior eighteen. Because the entries carry no detail, any statement about what is being built would be speculation. The pattern of a stable CRAN package accelerating its release rate is the only reliable signal available.
◆Prediction
The feed does not describe its changes, so the direction of development cannot be read from these entries; the accelerating 2026 cadence is the only thing it supports.

    CRAN Release 0.4.0

    A CRAN release whose feed entry contains only a link to the package's news page, with no description of what changed. The version step from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0 suggests more than a patch, but nothing in the entry itself confirms that. Third release of 2026, continuing the year's tighter cadence.

    CRAN Release 0.1.2

    The first CRAN release, pointing readers at a getting-started article rather than describing the package's contents. It establishes the link-only format every subsequent entry in this feed follows.
