Changelog • s20x

s20x 3.4.0

New features

predict20x() is now an S3 generic with methods for lm, glm and tslm fits, so one function covers them all. For a glm fit, type can be "response" (the default), "link" or "odds". tslm fits with ar(p) errors are not supported yet.
predict20x(), summary1way(), summary2way() and summaryStats() now return classed objects with print methods. What they print is unchanged, and printing a saved result shows the same table.
predict20x() accepts conf.level and digits, and summary1way() and summary2way() accept digits. The older cilevel and digit still work.
LazyData: true means data() is now optional.
The package now has a website, https://stats-uoa.github.io/s20x/, with the function reference and all the case studies as articles, and a logo.

Deprecated and removed

Deprecated predictCount() and predictGLM() in favour of predict20x().
Deprecated ciReg(), layout20x(), freq1way(), residPlot(), levene.test(), estimateContrasts(), crossFactors(), crosstabs(), onewayPlot(), twosampPlot(), autocorPlot() and skewness(), which the course no longer uses directly. summary1way() still draws its plot, and summaryStats() still reports skewness.
Deprecated the shapiro.wilk argument of normcheck().
Removed Levene’s test from eovcheck(). Passing levene now gives a warning and is ignored.
Removed the demo scripts.

Bug fixes

Results that changed

summary2way(): page = "nointeraction" applied FUN twice, so FUN = exp printed exp(exp(x)).
tslm(): residual diagnostics followed row order rather than time, which gave misleading ACF and time plots. ar(p) models are now fitted in time order, so for data not already sorted, residuals() and fitted() come back in time order. Coefficients do not change.
tslm(): offset() terms were dropped without warning. Using offset() with ar(p) now gives an error, because nlme::gls() does not support it.
eovcheck(): lm objects were refitted from the call, which lost subset and weights and failed for models with no data argument or a stored formula.
predict20x() and predictCount(): named columns in newdata are now matched by name. They were previously assigned by position, even when in a different order from the model.
predict20x() on a glm fit now gives glm intervals rather than treating the model as an lm fit.
onewayPlot() on an lm object, and summary1way(), ignored conf.level, interval.type, pooled and the other plotting options.
rowdistr(): comp = "within" printed blank chi-square statistics and p-values.

Errors on valid input

predict20x(), predictCount() and predictGLM() now work with transformed terms such as log(x) and factor(g).
summary1way() now works with transformed terms such as factor(x).
summary2way(): page = "interaction" no longer fails when a factor level contains a hyphen, and its headings now name the first factor rather than printing c("gender", "picture").
onewayPlot(y, g) no longer fails when ylabel and flabel are not supplied.
pairs20x(): pch, col, cex and bg now work with the base engine, and apply to the scatter plots.
displayPairs() keeps all comparisons when two factors share a level name.
summaryStats() now accepts na.action.
cooks20x() now accepts axisOpts with only some options set.
tslm() now finds variables local to a calling function when data or time is supplied.

Smaller fixes

summary2way(): print.out = FALSE now suppresses printing for the default output.
eovcheck(): col now sets the smoother colour with the base engine.
normcheck() labels a vector’s histogram from the call rather than always x, and accepts hex and palette-number colours.
openCaseStudy() no longer opens an editor in non-interactive sessions.

Case studies

Case studies 5.2 and 10.3 now render. A damaged header stopped them working.
Case study 5.2: corrected the R-squared (43.1%, not 36.7%), the dummy variable description, and a formula that referred to burn rather than price.
Case study 9.1: corrected swapped intervals for method 3 against methods 1 and 2.
Case study 10.1: removed a stray digit from an interval, and a decrease given as negative.
Moved the case studies to predict20x(), replaced T and F with TRUE and FALSE, and styled the code with styler.

Documentation and development

Rewrote the README and moved the release history into this file.
Corrected the documentation, which described ggplot2 and GGally as optional. Both are required dependencies.
Strengthened the tests with independent checks of the ANOVA results, prediction intervals, tslm AR fits and plotting defaults.
Added GitHub workflows for the website, case study styling and R-hub checks.

s20x 3.2.2

CRAN release: 2026-01-14

A small number of the datasets have been slightly altered, and their associated documentation accordingly. The changes consist of adding some useful extra variables to the three time series datasets airpass.df, beer.df and larain.df. These variables are t which is just a time index to save the user creating it if they want to fit a lag response model, and either month and year or both. These are factor variables giving the year the observation recorded, and if relevant the month. These extra variables can be used for time series analysis or plots.

In addition we have made an attempt to use SI units rather than imperial units where sensible. Some examples of where it is sensible: converting inches to millimetres, pounds to kilograms, and acre-feet/gallons to litres (or megalitres). Some examples of where it is not sensible are carats (industry standard) and converting blood pressue to kiloPascals instead of millimetres of mecury (mm Hg), which again is the health profession standard. If these conversions have been made, then they have been done as extra variables added to the dataset, rather than replacing the original measurements. The logic for this is to preserve the datasets as is to avoid lecture notes mismatches - at least for the time being.

s20x 3.1-24

A new function called modcheck has been added. This allows all four standard 20x model checking plots – residuals versus fitted values, a normal Q-Q plot, a histogram of residuals, and a Cook’s distance plot – to be drawn on the same plot at once. This function needed a much more flexible version of normcheck, and needed modifications to eovcheck and cooks20x. I have not put it on CRAN yet because of the chance that it will fail for our current students. We really need some unit testing in this package so that this process can be sped up.

s20x 3.1-21

Ben Stevenson added some code to summary2way so the attribute information from TukeyHSD is preserved. That is so you see this

> summary2way(fit, page = "interaction")
  Tukey multiple comparisons of means
    95% family-wise confidence level

Fit: aov(formula = fit)

$`store:crust`

instead of this

> summary2way(fit, page = "interaction")
$`store:crust`
