[Developer]: Contributing Diagnostics for Detecting Nonstationarity in Time Series

[Zitzmann]

Description

Dear all: I'd like to implement some novel tools for detecting nonstationarity in time series. R package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nonstat/index.html; Publication: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384354932_A_Novel_Nonvisual_Procedure_for_Screening_for_Nonstationarity_in_Time_Series_as_Obtained_from_Intensive_Longitudinal_Designs

Purpose

Detecting nonstationarity in time series

Use-case

Research suggests that the newly developed Zitzmann-Lindner-Lohmann-Hecht diagnostic is more sensitive

Is your feature request related to a JASP module?

Hi Team. Steffen Zitzmann is a colleague of mine and this will be the first time we will try to contribute actual R code. All I knew from contributing the "coefficient of variation" from like 6 years ago is gone, sorry.

Questions

• which file would allow us to load the additional R-Package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nonstat/index.html - seems like the answer is "JASP uses the Imports field in a DESCRIPTION file to understand which dependencies it needs to install from CRAN"
• where is the jaspResult file? Or is it not needed anymore to edit that one?
• Should we use libpath mode? Because the old mode does show changes made to the code on the fly in JASP. Seems better for a beginner, no?

Sorry @tomtomme & @Zitzmann, I see that we did not answer you. It's a pity because you are willing to add self a new feature, and that is really great! We are quite busy to release the new version...
We recommend indeed the new way of using the developer module (with libpaths).
We have a project to make easier for people to contribute to JASP. @PabRod is adding some documentation, for example https://github.com/jasp-stats/jasp-desktop/blob/development/Docs/development/jasp-adding-module.md.
We have also a 'Module development' channel on Mattermost. Maybe we could add you there, it could be easier for the communication.
