More models, more features: what’s new in ‘parameters’ 0.2.0

The easystats project continues to grow, expanding its capabilities and features, and the parameters package 0.2.0 update is now on CRAN.
The primary goal of this package is to provide utilities for processing the parameters of various statistical models. It is useful for end-users as well as developers, as it is a lightweight and open-developed package.
The main function, model_parameters(), can be seen as an alternative to broom::tidy(). However, the package also include many more useful features, some of which are described in our improved documentation:
Improved Documentation
Parameters Description
Parameters Engineering
Parameters Selection
Dimension Reduction
Improved Support
Besides stabilizing and improving the functions for the most popular models (glm(), glmer(), stan_glm(), psych and lavaan…), the functions p_value(), ci(), standard_error(), standardize() and most importantly model_parameters() now support many more model objects, including mixed models from packages nlme, glmmTMB or GLMMadaptive, zero-inflated models from package pscl, other regression types from packages gam or mgcv, fixed effects regression models from panelr, lfe, feisr or plm, and structural models from FactoMineR.
Improved Printing
For models with special components, in particular zero-inflated models, model_parameters() separates these components for a clearer output.
