What is adjustedCurves?

A survival curve package spending release after release correcting its own estimates

adjustedCurves computes confounder-adjusted survival and cumulative incidence curves across a range of estimators - IPTW, AIPTW, Aalen-Johansen, direct standardisation - with support for multiple imputation and bootstrapping. The recent releases are dominated by corrections to numbers the package already reported. Version 0.11.4 fixed cumulative incidence estimates under method="aalen_johansen" that were being read one time step early, which the maintainer notes could differ substantially when events are few, and added risk and event counts to the ggsurvplot conversion including correctly pooled values under multiple imputation.

What is EDAForge?

EDAForge is a data-quality auditor renamed mid-flight, still finding its CRAN footing.

EDAForge's release feed shows a package changing identity between its first two tags. The v0.1.0 notes describe DataAudit, a data-quality auditing package built around audit_data(), reusable audit_rules() and audit_score(), with install instructions still pointing at vinodhpmd/DataAudit, while the repository now serves EDAForge. Only three tags exist, one of which is a bare compare link with no notes, and the most recent is a CRAN-policy cleanup rather than feature work.

A survival curve package spending release after release correcting its own estimates

◆ Current state

adjustedCurves computes confounder-adjusted survival and cumulative incidence curves across a range of estimators - IPTW, AIPTW, Aalen-Johansen, direct standardisation - with support for multiple imputation and bootstrapping. The recent releases are dominated by corrections to numbers the package already reported. Version 0.11.4 fixed cumulative incidence estimates under method="aalen_johansen" that were being read one time step early, which the maintainer notes could differ substantially when events are few, and added risk and event counts to the ggsurvplot conversion including correctly pooled values under multiple imputation.

◆ Where it's heading

Multiple imputation is the recurring fault line. The standard error pooling formula was implemented incorrectly until 0.11.2, then fixed again in 0.11.3 for the bootstrapping-plus-imputation combination, and 0.11.4 added the pooled risk table values that had previously been omitted entirely. A separate thread quietly removed capability: tmle and ostmle methods went in 0.10.0, and tmle support was pulled again in 0.11.1 after the concrete package left CRAN. Feature work does happen - risk tables, contrast arguments, the extend_to_last control on IPTW curves - but it is outweighed by correction.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued estimator-level corrections rather than new methods, and a possible return of tmle support if its upstream dependency returns to CRAN, since the removal was described as temporary.

5.0

EDAForge is a data-quality auditor renamed mid-flight, still finding its CRAN footing.

◆ Current state

EDAForge's release feed shows a package changing identity between its first two tags. The v0.1.0 notes describe DataAudit, a data-quality auditing package built around audit_data(), reusable audit_rules() and audit_score(), with install instructions still pointing at vinodhpmd/DataAudit, while the repository now serves EDAForge. Only three tags exist, one of which is a bare compare link with no notes, and the most recent is a CRAN-policy cleanup rather than feature work.

◆ Where it's heading

The substance so far is all in the DataAudit-named 0.1.0: more than a dozen check families spanning missing values, duplicates, ranges, patterns, dependencies and grouped sequences, wrapped in a structured report object with print and summary methods. The 0.1.1 that follows removes a default output path, moves examples to tempdir() and adds an introductory vignette, which is the standard shape of a package being made acceptable to CRAN. The public identity is currently ahead of the release notes, so a reader arriving at the feed cannot tell from it what EDAForge does.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next tag to align the notes with the EDAForge name and add exploratory-analysis functions alongside the auditing core; the compliance pass in 0.1.1 points at a CRAN submission as the near-term goal.
