The easystats collection of open source R packages was created in 2019 and primarily includes tools dedicated to the post-processing of statistical models. [1] [2] As of May 2022, the 10 packages composing the easystats ecosystem have been downloaded more than 8 million times, and have been used in more than 1000 scientific publications. [3] [4] [5] The ecosystem is the topic of several statistical courses, video tutorials and books. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Contents

The aim of easystats is to provide a unifying and consistent framework to understand and report statistical results. It is also compatible with other collections of packages, such as the tidyverse. Notable design characteristics include its API, with a particular attention given to the names of functions and arguments (e.g., avoiding acronyms and abbreviations), and its low number of dependencies.

History

In 2019, Dominique Makowski contacted software developer Daniel Lüdecke with the idea to collaborate around a collection of R packages aiming at facilitating data science for users without a statistical or computer science background. The first package of easystats, insight was created in 2019, and was envisioned as the foundation of the ecosystem. [1] The second package that emerged, bayestestR, benefitted from the joining of Bayesian expert Mattan S. Ben-Shachar. Other maintainers include Indrajeet Patil and Brenton M. Wiernik. [2]

Packages

The easystats ecosystem contains ten semi-independent packages.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Psychological statistics</span>

Psychological statistics is application of formulas, theorems, numbers and laws to psychology. Statistical methods for psychology include development and application statistical theory and methods for modeling psychological data. These methods include psychometrics, factor analysis, experimental designs, and Bayesian statistics. The article also discusses journals in the same field.

Bayesian statistics is a theory in the field of statistics based on the Bayesian interpretation of probability where probability expresses a degree of belief in an event. The degree of belief may be based on prior knowledge about the event, such as the results of previous experiments, or on personal beliefs about the event. This differs from a number of other interpretations of probability, such as the frequentist interpretation that views probability as the limit of the relative frequency of an event after many trials.

The nested sampling algorithm is a computational approach to the Bayesian statistics problems of comparing models and generating samples from posterior distributions. It was developed in 2004 by physicist John Skilling.

While some psychometric analyses can be performed with standard statistical software like SPSS, most analyses require specialized tools.

GeneNetwork is a combined database and open-source bioinformatics data analysis software resource for systems genetics. This resource is used to study gene regulatory networks that link DNA sequence differences to corresponding differences in gene and protein expression and to variation in traits such as health and disease risk. Data sets in GeneNetwork are typically made up of large collections of genotypes and phenotypes from groups of individuals, including humans, strains of mice and rats, and organisms as diverse as Drosophila melanogaster, Arabidopsis thaliana, and barley. The inclusion of genotypes makes it practical to carry out web-based gene mapping to discover those regions of genomes that contribute to differences among individuals in mRNA, protein, and metabolite levels, as well as differences in cell function, anatomy, physiology, and behavior.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Flux (machine-learning framework)</span>

Flux is an open-source machine-learning software library and ecosystem written in Julia. Its current stable release is v0.12.8. It has a layer-stacking-based interface for simpler models, and has a strong support on interoperability with other Julia packages instead of a monolithic design. For example, GPU support is implemented transparently by CuArrays.jl This is in contrast to some other machine learning frameworks which are implemented in other languages with Julia bindings, such as TensorFlow.jl, and thus are more limited by the functionality present in the underlying implementation, which is often in C or C++. Flux joined NumFOCUS as an affiliated project in December of 2021.
