🎉 MOTE 1.2.0 — Major Update: Modern API, Cleaner Code, and Full Test Coverage

This release delivers a major modernization of MOTE, focused on stability, usability, and long-term maintainability. Version 1.2.0 introduces fully rewritten effect size functions, new snake_case APIs, extensive documentation improvements, and a comprehensive automated test suite.

✨ Highlights

🔄 Complete transition to snake_case

• All major functions now have clean, consistent, modern names using snake_case.
• Legacy dotted names (e.g., eta.partial.SS) are still supported through backward-compatibility wrappers and will continue to work seamlessly.

🧮 Two new “overall wrapper” functions

• To make effect-size selection easier:
  • d_effect() — unified access to all d, g, delta, and standardized mean difference metrics
  • r_effect() — unified access to r, R², eta, omega, ges, v, and related ANOVA/chi-square effect sizes

🔍 Fully rebuilt effect size functions

• Across all effect size families:
  • Standardized arguments (dfm, dfe, f_value, etc.)
  • Clean internal code using modern R practices
  • Unified output structure
  • APA-style estimate and statistic strings
  • Consistent confidence interval calculations

🧪 100% test coverage for all core functions

• A brand-new testthat suite validates:
  • numeric correctness against known examples
  • structure of returned lists
  • APA formatting
  • error handling
  • backward-compatibility wrappers
  • noncentral F/t/χ² functions
  • proportion effects (Cohen’s h, d_prop_smd)
  • wrapper dispatch behavior

⚙️ No external dependencies

• Remove MBESS and ez dependencies to make installation easier.
