Website roadmap

This page is the navigation contract for the Quarto site: a recommended linear reading path plus goal-oriented tracks.

Start Examples Package roadmap

Recommended path (first-time users)

Use this if you want a single, low-friction learning sequence.

1. Orientation
   • Start hub
   • Roadmap (start section)
   • Usage diagrams (choose wrapper/fit/predict routes)
2. First successful run
   • Start here
   • Basic compile and run
   • Backends and workflow map
3. Template-based work
   • Examples hub (unconditional → conditional → causal → clustering)
4. Model understanding
   • Advanced hub
   • Model umbrella
   • Theory background
5. Exact interfaces
   • Reference hub
   • pkgdown API reference

Tracks (choose by goal)

Each track is a curated set of pages with explicit prerequisites and “next steps”.

• Quickstart: Track: Quickstart
• Modeling (1-arm): Track: Modeling
• Causal: Track: Causal
• Clustering: Track: Clustering
• Kernels & tails: Track: Kernels
• Customization: Track: Customization

Quarto vs pkgdown split (why two sites)

• Quarto (this site): narrative, workflows, comparisons, and “how to think about choices”. It is optimized for reading and learning.
• pkgdown: primary function signatures, arguments, return objects, and examples.

When in doubt: learn the workflow here, then confirm details in pkgdown.

Prereqs

• Required packages and data for this page are listed in the setup chunks above.

Outputs

• This page renders model fits, diagnostics, and summary artifacts generated by package APIs.

Interpretation

• Canonical concept page: Index
• Treat this page as an application/example view and use the canonical page for core definitions.

Next

• Continue to the linked canonical concept page, then return for implementation-specific details.
