2 years ago Hi @lj5yn and thanks for your submission! Because of its relatively small size, I am going to ping the greater editorial board to make sure it is in scope for JOSS before proceeding with review. This process will take 1-2 weeks, thanks.

2 years ago 👋 @lj5yn - I'm sorry to say that after discussion amongst the JOSS editors, we have decided that this submission does not meet the substantial scholarly effort criterion for review by JOSS. Please see https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/submitting.html#other-venues-for-reviewing-and-publishing-software-packages for other suggestions for how you might receive credit for your work.
(Also, one editor suggests "levelCompare is implemented incorrectly and uses the wrong statistical test.")

2 years ago @danielskatz I'd respectfully ask you to reconsider this decision. According to the linked source on substantial scholarly effort, it says that package/software would qualify if it "makes addressing research challenges significantly better (e.g., faster, easier, simpler)." This is exactly the point of the mlmtools package, which brings together a suite of pre-model and post-model processing tools for users of the lme4 package for multilevel models in R. We saw the issue raised about levelCompare and planned to address the issue. Additionally, there were functions that we considered adding to the package but did not for a variety of reasons. Had we added even one of them, this would have pushed the code count above 1,000. We are happy to augment the package further if that would help our case. Thank you very much for considering our request.

2 years ago @bbachilles: That the software "makes addressing research challenges significantly better (e.g., faster, easier, simpler)" is necessary but not sufficient. The other part of this statement is that the software should "be a significant contribution", and this is the main concern of the editors.
You are certainly welcome to expand the software to make the contribution larger and to resubmit. If you do, please include the URL of this issue in your submission.

2 years ago @danielskatz Thank you very much for clarifying and leaving the door open for a resubmission (with further additions to the package).
