glcdp vs statpsych: at a glance
What is glcdp?
glcdp reaches 1.0.0 with a stable schema contract behind its data explorer.
glcdp imports light-logger data packages published to the GLC standard, driven by declared schemas rather than format-specific readers. 0.9.3 added glc_explore(), a Shiny application for browsing the registry and exporting an annotated reproducible script. 1.0.0 promotes schema 3.0.2 to the default and primary stable import contract and makes schema-declared variable types and factor-level order drive the import itself.
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.

glcdp reaches 1.0.0 with a stable schema contract behind its data explorer.
◆ Current state
glcdp imports light-logger data packages published to the GLC standard, driven by declared schemas rather than format-specific readers. 0.9.3 added glc_explore(), a Shiny application for browsing the registry and exporting an annotated reproducible script. 1.0.0 promotes schema 3.0.2 to the default and primary stable import contract and makes schema-declared variable types and factor-level order drive the import itself.
◆ Where it's heading
The package is serving two audiences from one model. Programmatic users get glc_collect(), extract_metadata() and add_metadata(), with imports that reject file groups whose factor labels or level order disagree. Interactive users get an Explorer that filters by device, wearing position, modality, role and data state, pages large inventories at 100 rows, and caches remote metadata for immutable revisions. Schemas 1.0.0 and 2.0.0 stay reachable as barebones legacy paths.
◆ Prediction
With 3.0.2 named the primary stable contract and the older schemas explicitly labelled legacy, retiring the barebones paths is the most likely next structural move. The notes give no indication of work beyond the current schema line.

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.
