The stats package was removed from the Imports list, but it is still being imported in NAMESPACE (lines 216-223 in the diff). R packages in Imports should include all packages from which functions are imported via @importFrom directives. Verify that stats is a base R package that doesn't need to be listed in Imports, or restore it to the dependencies.
