campsis vs statpsych: at a glance
What is campsis?
Campsis breaks its API on purpose: snake_case throughout, RxODE compatibility cut loose.
Campsis runs clinical-trial simulations from pharmacometric models, sitting on mrgsolve and rxode2 as interchangeable engines, with the sibling package Campsismod supplying the model object layer. Version 1.9.0 is the release where the suite stops carrying its history: the whole API migrates to snake_case, backward compatibility with the old RxODE package is removed, and result processing is refactored into output functions that can be applied as a collection, with an NCA table the first substantial one. Campsismod made the same snake_case move a week earlier, so this is a suite-wide rename rather than one package's decision.
What is statpsych?
A statistics catalogue for psychology that grows by the release and rarely changes shape.
statpsych supplies confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power calculations and sample-size planning for the designs psychology researchers actually run, exposed as several hundred small named functions rather than a modelling framework. Version 2.0.0 adds eight functions across logistic model performance, Kendall tau-a intervals and sample sizes, intraclass correlation testing, Geary kurtosis and Mann-Whitney power, and retires three names in favour of generalised replacements. The major version number reflects those removals rather than a change in how the package is used.

◆ Current state
Campsis runs clinical-trial simulations from pharmacometric models, sitting on mrgsolve and rxode2 as interchangeable engines, with the sibling package Campsismod supplying the model object layer. Version 1.9.0 is the release where the suite stops carrying its history: the whole API migrates to snake_case, backward compatibility with the old RxODE package is removed, and result processing is refactored into output functions that can be applied as a collection, with an NCA table the first substantial one. Campsismod made the same snake_case move a week earlier, so this is a suite-wide rename rather than one package's decision.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.8 and 1.9 releases together describe a package being made drivable from outside R. JSON interfaces arrived first for models in Campsismod 1.3.0 and for datasets in Campsis 1.8.0, then extended to scenarios, settings and study replication; the output side has now been generalised the same way, from fixed result processing to a collection of output functions applied to simulated results. Renaming every function and cutting RxODE loose is the cost of that consolidation, paid in one deliberate breaking release rather than spread across several.
◆ Prediction
With the rename and the RxODE removal behind it, the next releases should restore the rxode2 engine to the test suite, which 1.9.0 removed temporarily, and continue filling out the output-function catalogue beyond NCA. The JSON surface looks like the intended entry point for driving Campsis from outside R, though the entries do not say what is meant to consume it.

0.0INFRA · APIS
A statistics catalogue for psychology that grows by the release and rarely changes shape.
◆ Current state
statpsych supplies confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power calculations and sample-size planning for the designs psychology researchers actually run, exposed as several hundred small named functions rather than a modelling framework. Version 2.0.0 adds eight functions across logistic model performance, Kendall tau-a intervals and sample sizes, intraclass correlation testing, Geary kurtosis and Mann-Whitney power, and retires three names in favour of generalised replacements. The major version number reflects those removals rather than a change in how the package is used.
◆ Where it's heading
Every release in this window is the same shape: a list of new functions, occasionally a rename. The package grows by filling cells in a grid of estimand, design and inferential goal, and 2.0.0 is notable only for finally deleting the three names its generalised replacements had superseded. That makes it a reference library whose value is coverage and stability, not direction, and the entries give no sign of that changing.
◆ Prediction
Expect the accretion to continue along the same axes, with sample-size and power counterparts filled in for estimands that currently have interval functions but no planning ones. The 2.0.0 deletions suggest occasional consolidation passes when a generalised function makes older specific ones redundant.
