dcurves vs Grafana Mimir: at a glance
What is dcurves?
Decision curve analysis, settled since 2022 and now moving only when its neighbours do
dcurves implements decision curve analysis — evaluating a prediction model or diagnostic test by net benefit across the range of thresholds a clinician might plausibly use, rather than by a single discrimination statistic. Its API stabilised in 2022 around dca() and test_consequences(). The two releases since exist because gtsummary and CRAN documentation rules changed, not because the method did.
What is Grafana Mimir?
Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months
The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.

◆ Current state
dcurves implements decision curve analysis — evaluating a prediction model or diagnostic test by net benefit across the range of thresholds a clinician might plausibly use, rather than by a single discrimination statistic. Its API stabilised in 2022 around dca() and test_consequences(). The two releases since exist because gtsummary and CRAN documentation rules changed, not because the method did.
◆ Where it's heading
The package reached its intended scope quickly and then stopped. Its 2022 releases did the substantive work: adding threshold-level diagnostic accuracy, tightening argument validation, and taking one breaking change to make net-interventions-avoided plots show the treat-all and treat-none reference lines by default. Since then it has moved only as a dependent of the wider tidy-modelling documentation ecosystem it plugs into.
◆ Prediction
Nothing in these entries points to method or API work; expect the next release to be another compatibility or CRAN documentation patch.

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months
◆ Current state
The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.
◆ Where it's heading
Packaging and the engine move on separate clocks: the chart ships weekly regardless of whether anything changed underneath, while Mimir itself cuts a minor roughly monthly. The weekly stream tells you nothing about direction and will keep dominating the feed by volume.
◆ Prediction
The chart line moving from 6.2.0-weekly to 6.3.0-weekly points at a 6.3.0 chart release carrying Mimir 3.2 once the candidate goes final.
