This version has numerous bug fixes and several performance upgrades.
Most notably, memory usage has been decreased greatly by no longer storing the bootstraps in memory.
Additionally, speed has been improved in numerous areas — particularly sleuth_prep — by changing several of the computations as well as changing the order of the parallelization (special thanks to Warren McGee for his contributions to this).

Below is an incomplete list of new features:

  • The full model no longer has to be specified in sleuth_prep.
  • A new function extract_model allow users to extract the effect sizes for a model in a tidy format similar to broom.
  • An arbitrary transformation can be specified/used in sleuth_prep (see argument transformation_function).

A big thanks to our users for fixing and reporting bugs.
A special thanks to Warren McGee for making several of the performance improvements as well as fixing several bugs.
