bage 0.7.3
Changes to data and examples
- Modified example for
augment()
so it runs faster
- Reduced size of
divorces
dataset
bage 0.7.2
Changes to interface
- Added first data model. New function is
set_datamod_outcome_rr3()
, which deals with the case where
the outcome variable has been randomly rounded to base 3.
augment()
now creates a new version of the outcome
variable if (i) the outcome variable has NA
s, or (ii) a
data model is being applied to the outcome variable. The name of the new
variable is created by added a .
to the start of the name
of the outcome variable.
- A help page summarising available data models
bage 0.7.1
Changes to interface
- There are now three choices for the
standardization
argument: "terms"
, "anova"
, and
"none"
. With "terms"
, all effects, plus
assoicated SVD coefficients, and trend, cyclical, and seasonal terms,
are centered independently. With "anova"
, the type of
standardization descibed in Section 15.6 of Gelman et al (2014) Bayesian
Data Analysis, is applied to the effects.
bage 0.7.0
Changes to calculations
- Further simplification of standardization, but likely in future to
split into two types of standardization: one that gives an ANOVA-style
decomposition of effects, and one that helps with understanding the
dynamics of each term.
Changes to infrastructure
Changes to documentation
- Stopped referring to second-order walks as equivalent to random
walks with drift. (A second-order random walk differs from a random walk
in that the implied drift term in a second-order random walk can vary
over time.)
bage 0.6.3
Changes to calculations
- Changed standardization of forecasts so that forecasts are
standardized along the ‘along’ dimension by choosing the values that
makes them consistent with time trends in the estimation period, and
then standardizing within each value of the along dimensions.
bage 0.6.2
Changes to interface
- Removed
SVDS()
, SVDS_AR()
,
SVDS_AR1()
, SVDS_RW()
, and
SVDS_RW2()
priors. Added indep
argument to
corresponding SVD
priors. SVD
priors now
choose between ‘total’, ‘independent’ and ‘joint’ models based on (1)
the value of indep
argument, (2) the value of
var_sexgender
and the name of the term.
Changes to data
- Object
HMD
now contains 5 components, rather than
10.
bage 0.6.1
Changes to calculations
- Fixed problems with standardization of forecast
- Added an intercept term to
Lin()
and
LinAR()
priors
bage 0.6.0
Issues
- Standardization of forecasts not working correctly.
Changes to interface
- Added priors
SVD_AR()
, SVDS_AR()
,
SVD_AR1()
, SVDS_AR1()
, SVD_RW()
,
SVDS_RW()
, SVD_RW2()
,
SVDS_RW2()
Internal calculations
- Changed values that are stored in object: removed
draws_linpred
, added draws_effectfree
,
draws_spline
, and draws_svd
. Modified/added
downstream functions.
- Calculation of ‘along_by’ and ‘agesex’ matrices pushed downwards
into lower-level functions.
bage 0.5.1
Changes to interface
- Moved HMD code to package bssvd.
bage 0.5.0
Changes to interface
- Combined interaction (eg ELin) and main effect (eg Lin) versions of
priors
- Removed function
compose_time()
- Added priors RWSeas and RW2Seas
- Improved
report_sim()
bage 0.4.2
Changes to interface
- Tidying of online help (not yet complete).
bage 0.4.1
New functions
- Added ‘bage_ssvd’ method for
components()
.
Changes to interface
augment()
method for bage_mod
objects now
calculated value for .fitted
in cases where the outcome or
exposure/size is NA, rather than setting the value of
.fitted
to NA
.
Internal calculations
- Standardization of effects only done if
components()
is
called. augment()
uses the linear predictor (which does not
need standardization.)
- Internally, draws for the linear predictor, the hyper-parameters and
(if included in model)
disp
are stored, rather than the
full standardized components.
- Standardization algorithm repeats up to 100 times, or until all
residuals are less than 0.0001.
- With the new configuration, calculations for large matrices that
previously failed with error message “Internal error: Final residual not
0” are now running.
Simulations
- When drawing from the prior, the intercept is always set to 0. Terms
with SVD or Known priors are not touched. All other terms are
centered.
bage 0.4.0
Changes to back-end for SVD
priors
- Move most functions for creating ‘bage_ssvd’ objects to package
‘bssvd’.
- Allowed number of components of a ‘bage_ssvd’ object to differ from
Bug fixes
- Corrected error in calculation of logit in
ssvd_comp()
.
bage 0.3.2
New functions
forecast.bage_mod()
Forecasting. Interface not yet
finalised.
Bug fixes
- Corrected error in C++ template for Lin and ELin priors (due to use
of integer arithmetic.)
bage 0.2.2
New functions
generate.bage_ssvd()
Generate random age-sex profiles
from SVD.
Bug fixes
- Internal function
draw_vals_effect_mod()
was
malfunctioning on models that contained SVD priors.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
