As Bert indicated, the more information you can provide about the package goals and intended users, the more appropriate the answers will be.
Rob Hyndman and his group have made many contributions to the field of time series and the sub-field of forecasting, both on the theoretical and practical sides. Hyndman et al have created many R packages devoted to time series. Their basic "object" is a tsibble, which is a subclass of a tibble, which itself is a subclass of an R DataFrame. More generally, they have adopted to extend Posit's "tidyverse" to a "tidyverts" (where 'ts' stands for time series), so that many commonly used packages/functions in the tidyverse can do the appropriate thing when handed a 'tsibble' as an input, rather than a tibble. e.g. ggplot2::autoplot( some_tsibble ) Some objects in the tidyverts that seem related to your package include: dable - a decomposition table, which is a subclass of tsibble, and which breaks the time series into components (trend, seasonality, residual) mable - a model table, used when applying different models to the same dataset, a fairly common use case For more information on Hyndman's approach to time series forecasting and his R tools, check out his freely available textbook "Forecasting: Principles and Practice (3rd Edition)" https://otexts.com/fpp3/ HTH, Eric On Mon, Apr 7, 2025 at 8:46 PM Erin Hodgess <erinm.hodg...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks, Bert! > > It’s for disaggregation of time series using different underlying > distributions. > > > > Erin Hodgess, PhD > mailto: erinm.hodg...@gmail.com > > > On Mon, Apr 7, 2025 at 11:40 AM Bert Gunter <bgunter.4...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > My *opinion*: > > > > 1.
