CRAN: Package xtbhst Implements the bootstrap slope heterogeneity test for panel data based on Blomquist and Westerlund (2015) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs00181-015-0978-z" target="_top">doi:10.1007/s00181-015-0978-z</a>&gt;. Tests the null hypothesis that slope coefficients are homogeneous across cross-sectional units. Provides both standard and adjusted Delta statistics with bootstrap p-values. Supports partialling out of control variables and cross-sectional averages for dealing with cross-sectional dependence.

CRAN: Package hatemicoint Implements the Hatemi-J (2008) cointegration test which allows for two unknown structural breaks (regime shifts) in the cointegrating relationship. The test provides three test statistics: ADF* (Augmented Dickey-Fuller), Zt* (Phillips-Perron Z_t), and Za* (Phillips-Perron Z_alpha), along with endogenously determined break dates. Critical values are based on simulations from Hatemi-J (2008) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs00181-007-0175-9" target="_top">doi:10.1007/s00181-007-0175-9</a>&gt;.

CRAN: Package voucher A R interface to the 'vouch' project (&lt;<a href="https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch" target="_top">https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch</a>&gt;), which bills itself as "a community trust management system based on explicit vouches to participate". 'vouch' is a 'Nushell' module, so 'voucher' provides a R application programming interface (API) to modify the 'VOUCHED.td' database without 'Nushell'. 'voucher' does not depend on 'vouch' or 'Nushell'.

CRAN: Package dialvalidator Parses, validates, formats, and classifies phone numbers using Google's 'libphonenumber' metadata. Covers 240+ territories with support for mobile, landline, toll-free, and other number types. Unlike 'dialr', this package requires no Java runtime — metadata is parsed ahead of time from the upstream 'PhoneNumberMetadata.xml' and shipped as a bundled R object. Functions accept character vectors and return simple R types (logical, character, data.frame).
