ScottKnott 1.4-0 (2026-05-24)
Bug Fixes
m.infos.lmerMod() and m.infos.nest.lmerMod(): fixed a crash when
emmeans returns asymptotic confidence interval columns (asymp.LCL/
asymp.UCL) instead of the df-based names (lower.CL/upper.CL).
The CI column names are now detected dynamically at runtime.
New Features
- Added a basic
testthat test suite covering SK with formula, aov,
and lm inputs for balanced and unbalanced designs, as well as
summary, print, plot, and xtable methods.
- Added two vignettes:
SK_intro (HTML, via R Markdown) and SK_intro_pdf
(PDF, via knitr/LaTeX), both covering quick start, accepted input classes,
unbalanced data, RCBD, factorial and split-plot designs, visualisation
options, tabular output, and mixed models.
README.md fully rewritten: badges (CRAN status, downloads, checks,
lifecycle, licence), key features, installation instructions (CRAN and
GitHub), quick-start examples, project layout, contributing guide, and
roadmap.
Changes
- Removed the dependency on the
doBy package. doBy::LSmeans produced
unwanted side-effects in the console and in Sweave/knitr documents.
- Added the
emmeans package as a dependency.
- All internal LSmeans calls have been replaced with
emmeans.
DESCRIPTION: added knitr, rmarkdown, and testthat (>= 3.0.0) to
Suggests; set VignetteBuilder: knitr; added BugReports URL;
removed the obsolete LazyLoad field.- Demo files revised: corrected English, standardised argument style
(
dispersion= replaces the abbreviated di=), and fixed three bugs:
duplicate variable sk4 in FE.R (renamed to sk5/sk6),
spurious double comma in RCBD.R, and wrong variable name
u_sk8 in CRD.R (renamed to u_sk4).
- All R source files reformatted to consistent 2-space indentation;
mixed tabs and spaces eliminated throughout.
xtable.SK(): treatment names moved from row names to an explicit
Treatment column; added print.xtable.SK() S3 method that strips
the inconsistent 2-space indentation inserted by print.xtable in
all data rows except the first, which caused visible misalignment in
compiled LaTeX and HTML tables.man/ files revised: English corrected, two files renamed
(SPET.rd → SPET.Rd, LS.Rd → LSD.Rd), spurious
\alias{SK.aov} removed, and demo(package='SK') corrected to
demo(package='ScottKnott') in all documentation examples.
