DIDmultiplegt #14

Closed BryanSWeber closed 1 year ago

BryanSWeber commented 1 year ago

DIDmultiplegt has been removed from CRAN for failure to update - perhaps there another version, but I am relying on V0.1.0 online here: https://github.com/cran/DIDmultiplegt

I suspect it may be from the "failure to provide the standard set of convenience methods that we would expect for model objects in R, e.g. summary or print." in the existing code.

It's been archived because of an (undeclared?) upstream dependency, i.e. the woodridge package, which DIDmultiplegt uses in some examples. See the CRAN error here: https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/noSuggests/DIDmultiplegt.out

Honestly, this is a pretty silly reason to be archived and could easily have been avoided... But the package maintainer has been awol for a while afaict. It hasn't been updated/maintained since the initial release. You can see from the companion GitHub repo: https://github.com/shuo-zhang-ucsb/did_multiplegt/issues

(I think Clement originally hired a PhD student to write the R implementation and they have since graduated and left?)

At any rate, thanks for the heads-up. You can still install from GitHub at least (or the CRAN archive).
