Hi Iñaki,
OK, it sounds like we have no practical disagreement: you're planning to
keep separate packages and then have a third one for integration. That will
be fine for people like me who don't necessarily want to specify units for
our regressions. I look forward to seeing this!
Cheers,
David

As Duncan already pointed out, the units of b an

Just to nitpick: in the regression y = a + b x, b
Hi Iñaki and David,
I fully see the need in a standardized unit package, and I understand the need
for propagation of errors (though I'm in the opposite camp to David where I
usually need unit tracking and conversion and rarely need error propagation--
though that's because my error propagation
Many measurements have no unit, but some uncertainty - e.g. the b and se
from an arbitrary regression. Can you give specific examples of the

One question that comes to mind: what's the synergy? I e why are units and
errors best handled together? I use standard errors a lot, but never
units... I would like a standard way to represent uncertainty but don't
think I need the other stuff.

Dear all,
Edzer Pebesma and I are combining forces into a new GitHub
organisation called "r-quantities", to which we have moved the CRAN
packages 'units', 'errors' and 'constants'. The idea is to write a new
package called 'quantities' to integrate 'units' and 'errors' into a
comprehensive solutio
