Olsbox is continually growing and upgrading! Below is a general
roadmap of analyses we plan to add up to December 2026. We may also
add additional methods and features not listed below. Thank you for
your support!
June 2026
Initial release
July - August 2026
Missing data imputation, outlier handling
Missing data imputation through
expectation-maximization, chained equations.
Full-information maximum likelihood for
procedure-specific imputation. Smart outlier
detection and filtering via Mahalanobis distance or
clustering-based anomaly detection.
We plan to have dedicated user interfaces for these,
so analysis and filtering is seamless!
September - November 2026
Advanced structural equation modeling
Measurement invariance extensions for CFA through
grouped CFA and MIMIC models. Causal mediation for
counterfactual analyses, PLS-SEM for formative
constructs, and exploratory SEM with factor
rotations in the roadmap!
November - December 2026
Time series analyses
Forecasting and volatility modeling with SARIMAX and
GARCH, plus multivariate methods like VAR and
dynamic factors.
December 2026
Wave 1 Bayesian statistics
We want to close the year with wave 1 of Bayesian
statistics, with advanced expansions coming 2027.
2027
Item-response theory, Bayesian and SEM expansions,
and more.
