DescTools 0.99.57 (2024-10-10)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* ReadSPSS() converts SPSS data in a data.frame.
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* CourseData() finds more files now.
BUGFIXES:
* BrierScore() has not handled the responses of glms correctly
since the last change, forcing the user to use predict-response
interface.
DescTools 0.99.56 (2024-08-31)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* WrdTableHeadings() enables the easy definition of table
headings in Word tables.
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* TOne() gets an own subsetting routine.
* Using #define STRICT_R_HEADERS used in order to comply with CRAN's
new standards.
* DescToolsOptions() gets a new option "linesep" used by some output
functions.
BUGFIXES:
* none
DescTools 0.99.55 (2024-07-31)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* NZ() returns all non zero elements from a numeric vector.
* BrierScoreCI(), CstatCI(), RSqCI() return bootstrap confidence intervals
for the BrierScore, the C-Statistic and the R squared of a linear model.
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* MeanCIn() displays a warning if the required width of the confidence
interval exceeds the standard deviation.
* ToWrd.table() gets another default for row.names. It now is TRUE instead
of FALSE as before.
* OddsRatio.glm changes its argument use.profile's default from TRUE to FALSE.
* MedianCI() allows further bootstrap types, dots arguments are now
passed on to the bootstrap procedure. The argument R has been removed,
but can still be provided in the dots. Default type for boostrap is
no longer 'basic' but 'perc', which seems better suited for the median.
(See discussion with MrJerryTAO in
https://github.com/AndriSignorell/DescTools/issues/109)
* Some first helpfiles are generated by roxygen2 now.
* The arguments in Winsorize() have been condensed to a single one with
extended flexibility.
* Closest() vectorizes the value to be found (argument "a") and "which".
* Unwhich() checks its arguments now and got a default value for the argument n.
* TOne() gets an improved print routine.
* BrierScore() checks the input arguments.
* TukeyBiweight() has been rewritten in C++ and now runs twice as fast
as before.
BUGFIXES:
* The text for prop.diff will be displayed in Desc.table().
* Custom xlab and ylab values can be used in plot.Desc.factfact().
* MultinomCI() did not correctly set the left/right side intervalls to 0 for
single sided intervals.
* ToWide() now handles factors with more than three levels without warning.
DEPRECATED:
* Arrow() has been moved to the package DescToolsAddIns.
DescTools 0.99.54 (2024-02-03)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* as.ym() adds a yearmonth class for extracting dateparts and adding months.
* as.Date.ym() converts a yearmonth to a date.
* NALevel() allows to quickly define an alternative level for NAs in a factor.
* CutAge() is a convenient wrapper for cutting age variables in slices
of e.g. 10 years.
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* Year(), Month() now also extract the parts from a yearmonth representation.
* Hodges-Lehman now uses long-longs instead of integers, allowing larger vectors.
* AddMonthsYM() has been integrated in AddMonths(). Use AddMonths(as.ym(202402))
instead.
* The Desc() procedure now puts the response in columns instead in rows as up
to now in the case of two factor variables. So the resulting table is
transposed compared to before.
* The Desc() procedure for 2x2 tables includes a confidence interval for
the difference of proportions based on BinomDiffCI(..., method="mn").
BUGFIXES:
* The documentation of RelRisk() did not correspond to the code.

DescTools 0.99.53 (2024-01-17)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* New implementation of 2-sample HodgesLehmann estimator.
* Fade() combines ColToOpaque(SetAlpha(col))
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* pckg.yaml has a dTri entry now.
BUGFIXES:
* HodgesLehman() mixed up the one sample and two sample case.
DescTools 0.99.52 (2023-11-30)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* dTri(), pTri(), qTri() and rTri() return the specific values for
a triangular distribution.
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* New C++ port of the Hodges-Lehman estimator following
Monahan's algorithm https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1271.319414.
(Credits go to Cyril Flurin Moser)
see: https://github.com/AndriSignorell/DescTools/issues/97
BUGFIXES:
* Dependency R>=4.3. for DescTools 0.99.51 has been fixed.
DescTools 0.99.51 (2023-11-19)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* Labels() is a vectorized function for Label().
* SDN() and VarN() return the uncorrected (biased) estimators for
standard deviation and variance (sometimes needed for
didactical reasons).
* EX() and VarX() return the expected value and the variance for
the distribution of a discrete random variable.
* Mgsub() is a vectorized version for gsub, allowing to replace
multiple patterns at the same time.
* New function GiniDeltas() returns the Gini variant from Deltas.
(Credits to Wim Bernasco, https://github.com/AndriSignorell/DescTools/issues/120)
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* TwoGroups() gains a formula interface. plot(), print() and ToWrd()
routines have been better organized.
* Hardcoded ANSI colors have been replaced by their cli::variants.
* LCM() and GCD() no longer use the library BH, but rely on
standard C++ functions instead.
BUGFIXES:
* HunterGaston() now calculates what it always pretended to do.
(Credits to Wim Bernasco)
* Internal function .NormWeights() does no more remove 0 values on the
value vector x.
* VonNeumannTest() uses the correct normal approximation now.

DescTools 0.99.50 (2023-09-02)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* The confidence intervals for the coefficient of variation are calculated
by the new function CoefVarCI(). Additional methods have been implemented.
So far these are: "vangel","mckay","nct","naive".
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* Mode() returns NA for a vector of length = 1.
* CoefVar() confidence intervals have been organised in a new function.
* DFLOAT replaced by DBLE everywhere in Fortran code.
DescTools 0.99.49 (2023-05-14)
------------------------------
UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
* Better solution for the set.seed issue in DunnetTest
(Credits to Michael Chirico in
https://github.com/AndriSignorell/DescTools/pull/102)
* BoxedText() supports xy.coords now.
* Two new methods for MultinomCI() have been implemented
(Fitzpatrick-Scott and Quesensberry-Hurst).
* BinomCI() no longer reports p_tilde but the usual x/n as
p estimator for the Agresti-Coull confidence intervall.
As a replacement for this, there is a argument std_est with
which the method specific non-standard point estimator can be returned.
(Thanks to julienbio99, MrJerryTAO and Vilmantas for the
research and discussion)
* VarTest() gets a more exact calculation for twosided p values
in the case of the one sample test.
BUGFIXES:
* MultinomCI method goodman uses the correct chisquare quantile now.
(Credits to yanka3 and Vilmantas Gegzna)
* LogStInv() would not have used the correct base for the log.
(Credits to Martin Maechler)
DescTools 0.99.48 (2023-02-17)
------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* Nf() shortcut for as.numeric(factor(x, ...)).

which replaces the old one.

* Hmean() will return NA for the confidence intervals in case we encounter
negative values. This was promised so in the help file, but never delivered.

* StrExtractBetween() would have rejected to extract parts between two identical
characters.
* Quantile(), and in consequence Median(), would not have treated missings correctly.

------------------------------
NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
* CompleteColumns() will return the names of complete columns of a data frame.
* ToWrdB() sends the output of a code chunk to Word and tags it with

DEPRECATED:
* FileOpenCmd(), SaveAsDlg(), ModelDlg(), ColPicker(), ColorDlg(),

presumably only make sense in a GUI context.

unique value.

* identify.formula() would have omitted NAs while preparing the model.frame
and so might have returned wrong rownumbers. It will now by default pass
NAs if the argument has not been set.
* Gmean will return 0 if any element of x is zero now.
* Desc.character would not have passed the plots when output to MS-Word.
DEFUNCT:
* InsCol() and InsRow() have been condensed into Append(), which is more
general and more flexible.
* PlotMatrix() has not been used and was obsolete.
