Initial release.
shoot(): budgeted exploratory linear-model search
across predictor subsets, transformations, interactions, sample
restrictions, outcome constructions, and model-form lifts.restriction axis: complete-cases pruning, Tukey IQR
fence on the outcome or a predictor, Cook’s D leverage exclusion, and
factor-level restriction.outcome_construction axis: composite indices,
residualisation, ratio outcomes, within-group z-scoring.model_form axis: polynomial / spline predictor wraps,
native Huber M-estimator (rlm), GLM family swaps,
random-intercept lifts.print(run) and every output generator via a shared
describe_spec() helper.summary(run) reports counts for each axis.run_log(): persisted history of recorded runs.The cursed bestiary covers questionable-research-practice tactics that fire as in-run tactical-pause modifiers:
+aggregate (alias +agg): collapse records
to country / group means before fit. Hides within-group variance when
within-group variance exceeds between-group variance.+compilation (alias +comp): treat a
literature compilation of reported values as ground-truth response.
Reporting bias gets re-emitted as ecological signal.+gapfill (alias +gap): validate
predictions for unobserved cases using fit metrics on the observed
cases. The reported metric is silent precisely where the question
lives.+tier2 (alias +relax,
+downweight): when the pre-registered quality filter yields
too few cases, introduce a downweighted second tier and backdate the
threshold to Methods.+counter_argument (alias +counter,
+preempt): inscribe the reviewer’s likely objections and
their rebuttals into the manuscript. Closes off review by performing it
on the reviewer’s behalf.+pseudo_spatial (alias +coords): add
geographic coordinates as fixed effects and treat that as having handled
spatial autocorrelation. Residuals still cluster.+omit_control (alias +omit): drop a
covariate because you don’t want to interpret it. Variance reassigns to
the predictors of interest and strengthens their apparent effects.+knife_edge (alias +labeling): define
group membership by a knife-edge presence rule on a continuous variable.
The comparison effect emerges from the labelling rule, not the
underlying process.+iid_rescue (alias +iid): reassign an
inconvenient fixed effect to an iid random effect when the result is
otherwise unwelcome.+defer_fix (alias +defer,
+next_step): acknowledge a methodological correction; defer
it to the next paper / first step / future analysis while the broken
analysis proceeds unchanged.+coffee_break (alias +side_meeting,
+offline): move methodological disagreement off the written
record. A six-paragraph objection is answered with a one-line proposal
to “discuss it informally” at the retreat.+mechanism_rebuttal (alias +intuition,
+but_biologically): dismiss a statistical concern by
appealing to domain mechanism rather than engaging with the statistical
content. The null simulation is set aside because the mechanism is
“obvious”.Five modifiers covering distinct rhetorical moves that redirect
attention away from a methodological concern rather than engaging with
it. All share the deflection fallacy tag.
+misunderstanding (alias +you_misread):
relocate the methodological problem from the analysis to the
reader.
+narrow_answer (alias +strawman):
answer a weaker version of the concern at the wrong level of
analysis.
+complexity_shield (alias
+its_complex): invoke unspecified complexity to dismiss a
specific narrow concern.
+frame_shift (alias +oscillate):
oscillate between descriptive and causal framing depending on which is
being challenged.
+matter_of_taste (alias +just_one_way):
soften a falsifiable concern into a matter of perspective.
vocab_tags includes
aggregation_artifact and deflection fallacy
tags.
Career-gated output set: locked functions return a status block and become usable once the tier is reached. Unlocks persist across sessions via the save state.
manuscript() (Postdoc).presentation(), reviewer_response(),
graphical_abstract() (Senior Scientist).funding() (PI).tempdir(); override with
output_dir = or
options(texanshootR.output_dir = ...).career(): dashboard of level, runs, favorite method,
opaque qualitative scores.achievements(): registry of visible and hidden
achievements with unlock status.wardrobe(): ASCII cosmetic slots that auto-equip when
their unlocking achievement fires.progress(): HUD-style companion to
?<fn>. Reads live save state and prints which
functions are unlocked, which are locked, and what the next unlock
requires.tools::R_user_dir("texanshootR", "data").reset_career(), reset_achievements(),
reset_wardrobe(), reset_all().?\texanshootR-options``.require_unlocked(): single source of truth for
output-tier gating. Signals a tx_locked condition so
scripts fail loudly while interactive callers can
tryCatch(tx_locked = ...). Roxygen
@description on each gated function carries the static
unlock requirement so ?presentation documents the tier even
when the function is callable.validate_messages(): schema check for the bundled YAML
message packs.vocab_*() family: enumerates the vocabularies that
drive message selection and effect application.These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
