CRAN initial release

[DominiqueMakowski]

I think this one can be submitted. Thoughts?

We could improve or prepare functions for plotting. Eg, visualization_marix() could save the terms in questions as attribute, so when we plot from estimate_link(), we know which variable is mapped to the x axis, which to the color scale etc.

Good idea.

• estimate_means (we could use the half-violin dotploplot in background?) could be easily
• For contrasts, the lighthouse is a ReVoLuTiOnArY feature IMO in theory, but needs to be improved for the cases of nested contrasts (might use the plotting for means as a basis)
• For estimate_smooth, quite easy too, we could plot the smooth term, and then simply add dashed vlines at every breakpoint (change in slope)

Extension of support to other packages (besides rstanarm, glms and merMod) is also a goal. I think that the current implementation will make that one quite easy. It might be already compatible with some other packages, but we just need to create, and test, the methods.

After #38, I think estimate can be submitted as it is pretty much basic feature-ready

[DominiqueMakowski]

shall we go ahead and submit his?

[strengejacke]

Yes, I think it's quite complete for initial release.
