In OuhscBbmc/Wats: Wrap Around Time Series Graphics

Description

This is a resubmission of a package that was removed from CRAN a few years ago. It was removed because a dependency has been removed from CRAN (BayesSingleSub). The Wats package has been modified to avoid using BayesSingleSub.

Yesterday the package was rejected with five suggestions. (Thank you, Victoria for the helpful context and comments.) I have addressed all five:

1. I referenced the article in the description field. I had trouble understanding how the angled brackets should be used, and followed the examples of xgboost and Rcpp.
2. I added more about the graph
3. I replaced dontrun{} with donttest{}. I agree it shouldn't be a problem to run it all, but it occasionally exceeds 5sec on R-hub. CRAN's servers may be more powerful, but I don't want to risk it. I've been ripleyed for less.
4. I removed the call to options() entirely. It was unnecessary anyway.
5. I removed the example of installing the package (even though it was in a dontrun{} block). When I wrote that in 2014, fewer people knew how to install dev versions.

Please tell me if there's anything I can modify to improve the quality of the package or make subsequent submissions easier for the CRAN team. --Will Beasley

R CMD check results

• No ERRORs or WARNINGs on any builds.

• NOTE on all test platforms: Package was archived on CRAN

• NOTE on R-hub's Windows platform that appears to be a problem with the platform:

  checking for detritus in the temp directory ... NOTE Found the following files/directories: 'lastMiKTeXException'

• Note on R-hub's Fedora platform that appears to a be a problem with the testing platform

  checking HTML version of manual ... NOTE Skipping checking HTML validation: no command 'tidy' found

• Note on R-hub's Ubuntu platform occasionally says that the annotate_data() documentation examples are taking more than 5 elapsed sec. But I think it's a problem with the platform because the examples take less than 0.1 elapsed seconds on my modest laptop. Examples with CPU (user + system) or elapsed time > 5s user system elapsed annotate_data 1.391 0.027 6.190
