Once your estimand is set, {modelbased} maps it directly:
• Quantity → means, contrasts, or slopes
• Unit → estimate = "average", "counterfactual", etc.

What does a sound data analysis workflow look like? In a first step:
- Define your estimand (*quantity and unit of interest*) & research question
- Map reality to your model (choose variables wisely)

How the {modelbased}📦fits into this post-estimation workflow (second step): 👇

An estimand needs two things: your *quantity* and your *unit* (target population) of interest.

In {modelbased}, you control this via the `estimate` argument to say who is your target population:

• A specific individual (e.g. conditional)
• An average across individuals (marginal/population)
October 9, 2026 at 6:22 AM
Regression coefficients rarely give direct answers - "holding variables constant" is tricky. {modelbased} delivers your actual *quantity* of interest directly:

• Expected outcomes (predictions) → estimate_means()
• Group comparisons → estimate_contrasts()
• Effect sizes & trends → estimate_slopes()

Fitted the model? Great, that was just step one. 🛠️

Learn how to extract the actual answers to your research questions (predictions, contrasts, slopes) using the {modelbased} modelisation-approach.

Nice to hear! 🤩 If you're looking for some resources, we have slides here:
easystats.github.io/easystats/ar...

And of course lot's of working examples and detailed introductions here:
easystats.github.io/modelbased/

But I agree with Vincent, often, the "simple use cases" are sufficient for most.

marginaleffects can do so much and the manual/book is amazing! It's basically replaced emmeans for me these days, now that I've figured out how it works. Might shift from teaching emmeans to easystats {modelbased} next year ... I think starting people out with marginaleffects might be a bit much

I was attending the 21st @eshms.bsky.social conference and beyond the many great sessions there was also an amazing session about the quantitative #MAIHDA approach. I updated the #rstats #easystats tutorial on MAIHDA modelling easystats.github.io/modelbased/a..., including some new things I learned.

Want to know what happens under the hood when calculating estimated marginal means? Read the {modelbased} vignette "Understanding marginalization methods"! It breaks down the different approaches with hands-on manual calculations using penguins-data.

And I'm kicking off this morning with a discussion in one channel about what y'all like to use to code up counterfactuals - marginaleffects, emmeans, broom:augment(), wrapping it all in modelbased, or what? Or will someone come up with some python wisdom...

Very cool! Recently I started using easystats.github.io/modelbased/ for that as well - also really easy and a wide range of models and packages accommodated. It’s powerful times for multivariate modeling!

Need to try this sometime to see how it compares to emmeans (what I’ve been using for the same purpose for years) and the viz I get from modelbased…
One thing that just keeps giving is @vincentab.bsky.social's marginaleffects package (see marginaleffects.com). It's just a complete game changer, moving from "trying to discern what model coefficients tell you after careful recoding" to "you know what, just compare these slopes, thx"

Not a critical issue but... I can't seem to update from modelbased .10 to modelbased .11 in the easystats package? Any one have any ideas? Seems like maybe version .10 is still the CRAN version even tho easystats.github.io/modelbased/ says otherwise? #rstats @easystats.bsky.social
