openEBGM 0.9.1 (2023-09-14)

• Ensured that no more than two threads are used for CRAN checks.
• Optimized examples for speed.
• Minor changes to vignettes.

openEBGM 0.9.0

• Use the new special sentinel "_PACKAGE" for package documentation.
• Various minor updates (URLs, etc.).

openEBGM 0.8.3 (2020-03-02)

• Fixed unit testing problems caused by R's future switch to stringsAsFactors = FALSE.

openEBGM 0.8.2 (2019-04-25)

• Adjusted calculation for expected counts using suggestion from Piotr Świnarski. Previously, calculation failed when marginal counts became too large for integer multiplication.

openEBGM 0.8.1 (2019-02-28)

• Corrected unit test failures for processRaw() resulting from base R changes to the sample() function.
• Added DEoptim::DEoptim() example to hyperparameter estimation vignette.

openEBGM 0.8.0 (2019-01-29)

• processRaw() now lists all strata when stratification is used.
• Added argument 'list_ids' to processRaw().

openEBGM 0.7.0 (2018-08-16)

• Added the autoSquash() function to automate data squashing.
• Changed exit condition for while loop in hyperEM(). hyperEM() now throws an error if the number of "stuck" or repeated estimates of theta exceeds 20 when using 'method = "nlminb"'.
• Changed upper limit from 1 to 0.999 in hidden functions .updateThetaLL() and .updateThetaLLD(), which are called by hyperEM().

openEBGM 0.6.0 (2018-05-21)

• Changed 'keep_bins' formal argument in squashData() to 'keep_pts' for added flexibility.

openEBGM 0.5.0 (2018-04-02)

• Efficiency and code hygiene improvements to processRaw() and squashData().

openEBGM 0.4.0 (2018-03-09)

• Added the hyperEM() function to estimate hyperparameters using an implementation of the EM algorithm.

openEBGM 0.3.0 (2017-11-15)

• Added confidence intervals to autoHyper() and standard errors to autoHyper() and exploreHypers().
• processRaw() now returns Inf instead of 99999 when PRR results in division by zero.
• Fixed minor bug in exploreHypers().

openEBGM 0.2.0 (2017-07-31)

• Minor aesthetic changes to plot(), summary(), and print() methods.
• Relaxed convergence requirements for exploreHypers() and autoHyper().
