THREE BIG THINGS THIS WEEK

  1. v0.7.0 will be released this week, thanks to Matthew for finishing up the model families code and Bai and Adrianne for working on cleanup tasks while the rest of us were away from our desks.

  2. The code for projections just needs a vignette, which will be worked on this week, then we can release this PR next week hopefully.

  3. Implementation of ‘epics’ in the issue tracker will start this week in an effort to help communicate the timeline. Epics are essentially parent issues that help link small issues to a larger feature.

A new expectation expect_shape() is available from {testthat} which checks the dimensions of the object of interest, e.g., number of rows or number of columns! This function could be helpful for FIMS where we expect the model results to have a certain number of rows.

testthat::expect_shape()

args(testthat::expect_shape)
# function (object, ..., nrow, ncol, dim)

mat <- matrix(1:6, nrow = 2, ncol = 3)
# Passes: mat has 2 rows and 3 columns
testthat::expect_shape(mat, c(2, 3))

df <- data.frame(a = 1:4, b = 5:8)
# Passes: df has 4 rows and 2 columns
testthat::expect_shape(df, c(4, 2))
