turtle (development version)

• Initial CRAN submission.

turtle 0.1.0

Initial release

• Introduced run_linear_models() function to fit linear (lm) and mixed effects (lmer) models.
• Supports:
  • Covariate adjustment
  • Effect modification via interaction terms
  • Sensitivity covariates
  • Random effects specification
• Returns a comprehensive output including:
  • The fitted model object
  • A tidy summary of fixed effects with estimates, confidence intervals, standard errors, p-values, number of observations, and BIC
  • Model formula
  • Residuals
  • Exposure variable name
• Includes robust error and warning handling using purrr::safely() and withCallingHandlers(). Includes errors or warnings in the tidy output so they can be viewed later when interpreting results.

turtle 0.1.1

Update runLinearModels

*Ask for clarification if user submits an interaction as the exposure, and additionally adds an effect-modifier, to confirm if the user wants to pursue 3-way interactions. - Robust for both interactive and non-interactive use

turtle 0.1.2

Update runLinearModels

Added version check to run_linear_models() so the user knows if an update is needed or not. Added option to not include p-values, which will switch to using lme4 to run mixed-effect models.

turtle 0.1.3

BugFix

*Fixed bug so that tidy output will optionally select p-values based on whether it exists in the output.

turtle 0.1.4

Update runLinearModels

*Added functionality so that either a single e.g., outcome or exposure can be provided, or else a vector of e.g., outcomes or exposures. If a list is provided, loops through the possible combinations of exposures and outcomes.

turtle 0.1.5

Create print_methods_run_linear_models

*Make a custom printing function for the run_linear_models function to provide feedback to users not familiar with data analysis

turtle 0.1.6

Create model_helpers & utils

Create model_helpers script -Turn some of the repetitive code in run_linear_models into helpers so they can be more easily updated and utilised elsewhere Create utils script -Turn some of the repetitive code in run_linear_models into utils so they can be more easily updated and utilised elsewhere *Update run_linear_models -Remove the model_helpers and utils and instead call them from their separate files.

turtle 0.1.7

Created model_helpers

*make_model_name and detect_model_notes to help clean up run_linear_models code.

turtle 0.1.8

Bug fix

*Updating S3 print methods and helper print functions.

turtle 0.1.9

Created new functions to proceed with model outputs

• Created save_model_output function.
• Created extract_model_summaries function.
• Created run_model_diagnostics function.
• Updated utility function to make version checking dynamic.
