I have added the Statement of need section in paper.md and pushed the changes to Github

I have fixed paper.md and set up the JOSS PDF generator in Github actions and successfully compiled the PDF there

👋 @yanrong-stacy-song - I am going to run this by our larger editorial board to ensure that it meets scope requirements for JOSS. I'll be back in touch ASAP. Thanks.

Submission flagged for editorial review.

[crvernon]

@editorialbot reject

👋 @yanrong-stacy-song - at this time we must reject this submission due to it not meeting our substantial scholarly effort requirements per the following:

• Code base too small
• Code base too young (short commit history)

Thank you.

[editorialbot]

Paper rejected.

[yanrong-stacy-song]

@crvernon Thanks for replying! We understand the number of lines of R code is smaller than 1000 in the cloc output, but just want to comment on the second point of short commit history:

1. The project was previously hosted at https://github.com/knightsay/backtestGraphics (co-author Zijie's repo) but he has limited time to work on subsequent improvements, so I became the maintainer and Zijie transferred the repo to be hosted in my Github
2. The project was initially submitted to JOSS at [REVIEW]: Backtest Graphics #30 back in 2018, by our co-author Karan, but he was still in college and didn't push the submission to the finish line.

Based on these, do you think this project can meet the substantial scholarly effort requirement? Thx again!
