2.0.0

MAJOR BREAKING CHANGE: The default output format is now tinytable instead of kableExtra. Learn more about tinytable here:

https://vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/

To revert to the previous behavior persistently, users can call:

library(modelsummary) config_modelsummary(factory_default = “kableExtra”)

Other breaking changes:

• The statistic_override argument was replaced by vcov over 1 year ago, with appropriate deprecation warnings. It is now fully removed.
• The group argument was replaced by shape several releases ago. It is now fully removed.
• datasummary_skim()
  • histograms are only available with the tinytable backend. This allows a lot of code simplification and more customization.
  • The order of arguments type and output is switched for consistency with other functions.
  • histogram argument is deprecated.

New features:

• datasummary_skim():
  • New type="all" by default to display both numeric and categorical variables in a single table with distinct panels. This feature is only available with the tinytable backend (default).
  • by argument allows summarizing numeric variables by group.
  • fun_numeric argument accepts a list of functions to control the summary columns.
• modelsummary():
  • statistic and estimate can be specified as named vectors to control the names of statistics when displayed in different columns using the shape argument. (Thanks to @mps9506 for bug report #722)
  • modelsummary(panels, shape = "cbind") automatically adds column-spanning labels when panels is a named nested list of models.
• config_modelsummary() gets a startup_message argument to silence the startup message persistently.
• Improved documentation and vignettes, providing clearer instructions and examples.
• Updated tests and snapshots to ensure reliability and consistency across changes.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed Issue #399: datasummary_balance() siunitx formatting.
• Fixed Issue #782: Useless warning in some modelplot() calls. Thanks to @iago-pssjd for the report and @florence-laflamme for the fix.
• Addressed various bugs and made optimizations for better performance and user experience.

1.4.5

• tinytable supports histograms in datasummary_skim()
• config_modelsummary() supports tinytable factory.

1.4.4

• Support the tinytable package as an output format (“factory”): https://vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/
• Quarto: md output format is recognized.
• options(modelsummary_factory_default) is respected, even in qmd->md documents.

Bugs:

• Some omitted coefficients with I() operator in formulas. Issue #693.

1.4.3

Misc:

• Duplicate values in shape groups are removed automatically for cleaner labels.
• “Title” line no longer indented in markdown tables. Thanks to Ryan Briggs for report #671.

Bugs:

1.4.2

New:

• Minimal support for Typst output, with auto-detection in Quarto documents.

1.4.0

• Built-in support for markdown tables.
• Package no longer depends on kableExtra. Recommends an additional install for other formats.
• Persistent configuration of default output format: config_modelsummary(factory_default = "gt")
• shape = "rcollapse" and shape = "rbind"
• glance_custom() can drop GOF by assigning NA: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75215355/assigning-different-coefficient-names-and-goodness-of-fit-statistics-to-differen

1.3.0

Breaking change:

• The default column label style in modelsummary() has changed from “Model 1” to “(1)”. The benefits are: labels are no longer in English by default; use less horizontal space; eliminate the “Model” redundancy. Unfortunately, this could break code in some edge cases where users rely on column names to manipulate tables. The old behavior can be restored by calling: options(modelsummary_model_labels="model")

New features:

• shape="rbind" to stack multiple regression tables and create “panels” with labelled groups of models.
• fmt: new helper functions for different formatting styles
  • fmt = fmt_decimal(2): decimal digits
  • fmt = fmt_decimal(digits = 2, pdigits = 4): decimal digits with p value-specific setting
  • fmt = fmt_sprintf("%.3f"): sprintf() decimal
  • fmt = fmt_sprintf("%.3e"): sprintf() scientific
  • fmt = fmt_significant(3): significant digits
  • fmt = fmt_statistic("estimate" = 2, "std.error" = 3): statistic-specific formatting
  • fmt = fmt_term("(Intercept)" = 2, "hp" = 3): term-specific formatting
  • fmt = fmt_identity(): raw values
• New styles for default column labels in modelsummary, such as Roman Numerals or letters in parentheses.
  • Set the style with a global option: options(modelsummary_model_labels = "roman")
  • Supported styles: “model”, “arabic”, “letters”, “roman”, “(arabic)”, “(letters)”, “(roman)””
• modelplot(draw = FALSE) now returns a p.value column. This allows conditional aesthetics (see the modelplot vignette).
• Better integration with the marginaleffects package.

Bugs:

• Some fixest models returns useless “group.x” and “group.y” columns. Isse #591. Thanks to Adam Altmejd for the report.

1.2.0

Breaking change:

• With the shape and output="dataframe" arguments, there always used to be a group column. Now, this column has the same name as the variable in the shape formula (“response”, “component”, etc.).

New features:

• shape can include multiple groups.
• coef_rename can be an unnamed vector of length equal to the number of terms in the final table, obtained after coef_map and coef_omit are applied and models are merged.
• coef_omit accepts numeric indices. Positive values: coefficients to omit. Negative values: coefficients to keep.
• datasummary_skim: Increased maximum number of variables to 250.
• Quarto notebooks compile to Word and Markdown automatically.

Bug fixes:

• Order of notes preserved in some output format (Issue #577)

1.1.0

Breaking change:

• Requires siunitx version 3.0.25 LaTeX package.
• The title argument now respects the escape argument for all kableExtra output formats. This can break tables in which users manually escaped titles.

New features:

• “d” is accepted for decimal-alignment in the align argument for all output formats. modelsummary(mod, align = "ld")
• New update_modelsummary() function makes it easy to install the dev versions of modelsummary and its dependencies (mostly useful for Vincent and people who report bugs).
• Rounding: display at least one significant digit by default.
• Automatic renaming of haven labels in modelsummary(), datasummary(), datasummary_skim()
• Allow output = "filename.csv"
• Allow output = "filename.xlsx"
• add_columns argument supported in modelsummary()
• datasummary_balance supports the stars argument.
• Allow stars and confidence intervals with align = "d" column.

Bug fixes:

• In some locales, the HTML minus sign created problems in the output. We only use it in “known” locales.
• Many minor bug fixes

1.0.2

• Minor release to fix CRAN failure

1.0.1

• shape argument accepts interactions with the colon “:” character. This combines two columns into one, which can be useful to display terms and group names in a single column.
• Parallelization using parallel::mclapply. See ?modelsummary
• modelsummary no longer computes confidence intervals when not necessary, which can save some time. Also see: conf_level=NULL
• Added log likelihood to GOF for lm and glm models.
• Removed extraneous warnings
• Bug fixes

1.0.0

This first major release accompanies the publication of an article in the Journal of Statistical Software:

Arel-Bundock, Vincent (2022). “modelsummary: Data and Model Summaries in R.” Journal of Statistical Software, 103(1), 1-23. doi:10.18637/jss.v103.i01 https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v103.i01.’

If you like modelsummary, please cite the JSS article and tell your friends about it.

Minor changes:

• gof_map="all" includes all available statistics. gof_map="none" excludes all statistics.
• Bug fixes

0.11.1

• Better printout for term names in mixed-effects models
• {brms} and {stanreg} models now extracted with diagnostic=NULL and test=NULL by default for speed.

0.11.0

Breaking changes:

• modelsummary_wide is no longer available. Use the shape argument of modelsummary instead.
• modelsummary now uses the easystats packages (performance and parameters) to extract estimates and goodness-of-fit statistics instead of broom. This can be reverted by setting a global option: options(modelsummary_get="broom"). This change aims to (1) increase consistency across models, (2) improve the developers’ ability to push bug fixes upstream when necessary, and (3) improve support for mixed effects, bayesian, and GAM models. The two main drawbacks are: (a) The set of printed statistics may be slightly different from previous versions of modelsummary (b) The group identifiers used in the shape formula will also be different for certain models (e.g., in nnet::multinom, y.level becomes response).

New features:

• The shape argument accepts a formula and can reshape information in myriad ways. Deprecates the group argument. Examples:
  • ~ statistic: statistics are shown horizontally in distinct columns.
  • model ~ term: models in rows and terms in columns.
  • term + y.level + statistic ~ model: grouped coefficients for multivariate outcome in nnet::multinom
  • y.level ~ model: partial match is the same as the previous formula
• Format distinct statistics differently by passing a named list to fmt:
  • modelsummary(mod, fmt = list(estimate = 2, std.error = 1, rmse = 4))
• Use glue to apply functions to numeric values by setting fmt = NULL. Example:
  • modelsummary(model, fmt = NULL, estimate = "{log(estimate)}")
• Update for breaking changes after fixest 0.10.4

Bug fixes:

• group_map rename issue
• Residual standard error mistakenly labelled “RMSE” in lm models.
• datasummary_skim output to jpg should now works
• escape fixes

• gt titles use the new caption argument in the gt 0.3.0 function
• Bug fix: Overaggressive tests for glue strings prevented functions inside {}

0.8.0

Breaking change:

• The default significance markers stars=TRUE have been updated to be consistent with the default output from base R (e.g., in summary.lm). The new significance thresholds are: “+” p < 0.1, “” p < 0.05, ”” p < 0.01, ”” p < 0.001

datasummary_crosstab:

• New function to produce cross-tabulations

datasummary:

• N is smart enough to return either the number of elements in a subset or the number of non-missing observations in a variable
