reviser - Analyzing Revisions in Real-Time Time Series Vintages
Analyzes revisions in real-time time series vintages. The package converts between wide revision triangles and tidy long vintages, extracts selected releases, computes revision series, visualizes vintage paths, and summarizes revision properties such as bias, dispersion, autocorrelation, and news-noise diagnostics. It also identifies efficient releases and estimates state-space models for revision nowcasting. Methods are based on Howrey (1978) <doi:10.2307/1924972>, Jacobs and Van Norden (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2010.04.010>, and Kishor and Koenig (2012) <doi:10.1198/jbes.2010.08169>.

bridgr - Bridging Data Frequencies for Timely Economic Forecasts
Implements bridge models for nowcasting and forecasting macroeconomic variables by linking high-frequency indicator variables (e.g., monthly data) to low-frequency target variables (e.g., quarterly GDP). Simplifies forecasting and aggregating indicator variables to match the target frequency, enabling timely predictions ahead of official data releases. For more on bridge models, see Baffigi, A., Golinelli, R., & Parigi, G. (2004) <doi:10.1016/S0169-2070(03)00067-0>, Burri (2023) <https://www5.unine.ch/RePEc/ftp/irn/pdfs/WP23-02.pdf> or Schumacher (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2015.07.004>.
