dbnR 0.7.9

• Fixed unstable behaviour of regex in C++ on both the psoho and natPsoho algorithms.

• Added a whitelist_tr argument to the DMMHC algorithm to allow forcing arcs in the transition network.

• Fixed the ‘forecast_ts’ function so that when forecasting future values not present in the dataset having ‘plot_res = T’ doesn’t throw an error

• Removed C++11 specification

dbnR 0.7.8

• Bringing the package overall status up to scratch for publication on a journal.

• Fixed incompatibility with bnlearn “mle-g” parameter.

• Generic methods have been added for the “dbn” and “dbn.fit” S3 classes.

• Documentation of the exported functions is now more accurate and follows a more stricter standard.

• Non-exported functions are now excluded from the man pages.

• Regular ‘print’ in low-level, internal functions has been swapped with ‘cat’.

• All of bnlearn methods for the classes “bn” and “bn.fit” have been extended to the “dbn” and “dbn.fit” classes in independent functions to ensure compatibility. All these methods are contained in the “bnlearn_compat.R” file.

• Generalized matrix calculation now done with MASS::ginv

dbnR 0.7.7

• New auxiliary function that moves the values of the variables backwards in time. Useful to shift the last row of evidence in a dataset and predict in a real world scenario.

dbnR 0.7.6

• Added an option to reverse the naming convention of the nodes when plotting a DBN. It transforms t_0 into t_n, t_1 into t_n-1 and so on. In the literature, t_0 is the oldest time-slice, and we reversed that in dbnR. This option lets users plot the networks following convention, but changes nothing of the models underneath.

• Fixed interaction between ‘sapply’ and some time series in the ‘plot_single_result’ function that caused the ‘lines’ function to take a very long time to execute.

• Fixed plots not showing the predictions line when the predictions where outside the range of the original time series values.

dbnR 0.7.5

• Deprecated the ‘size’ argument in ‘forecast_ts’ and ‘smooth_ts’.

• A named vector is no longer the only option required for the ‘mvn_inference’ function. It now also takes a single row data.table and makes the conversion to named vector inside. This avoids the user needing to have an external auxiliary function.

• New security check to confirm that a data.table has only one row. This is also needed in the inference, because we can only provide one row of evidence. It gave a non-descriptive error before, now it warns about using more than one row in the evidence data.table.

dbnR 0.7.4

• Added the possibility of plotting only a subset of the nodes with the visualization tool.

• Unified the ‘plot_network’ function for visualizing BNs and the ‘plot_dynamic_network’ function for visualizing DBNs into a single one.

• More informative error messages in security_checks.R when dealing with ellipsis.

dbnR 0.7.3

• Added the possibility of passing a blacklist_tr parameter to the dmmhc algorithm in order to avoid certain inter-slice arcs.

dbnR 0.7.2

• Added authors and doi of the structure learning algorithms to the description field as per request of CRAN maintainers.

dbnR 0.7.1

• natPsoho algorithm fixed and working

• Fixed check results

• Removed unused rand import in C++

dbnR 0.7.0

• Added new order invariant particle swarm structure learning algorithm: natPSOHO

dbnR 0.6.2

• Fixed the create_blacklist method for sizes greater than 10. A regex “$” was missing.

dbnR 0.6.1

• Added variable inertia, global best and local best parameters over time to the PSOHO algorithm

• Now filtered_fold_dt() allows a boolean argument to avoid deleting the id_var column before returning the folded dataset

dbnR 0.6.0

• Added the possibility of doing smoothing over a time series

• Fixed a bug that returned NaNs when predicting 1 variable in t_0 and providing all other variables as evidence

dbnR 0.5.7

• Parameter for different bnlearn scores in the PSOHO algorithm

• New Jupyter notebook that shows how to integrate dbnR with Python

• Fixed the ‘intra’ argument in the mmhc algorithm. The ‘if’ statements regarding it were wrong.

• Several fixes in compatibility with ‘as.data.table’ calls

dbnR 0.5.6

• Hotfix for the ‘f_dt’ parameter in the ‘learn_dbn_struc’ function. It was not being passed down to each algorithm.

• New auxiliary function ‘filtered_fold_dt’

• Added the possibility of not learning intra-slice arcs in the dmmhc algorithm

dbnR 0.5.5

• Removed obsolete and time consuming security checks. The psoho initial checks were supposed to secure the separate usage of the ‘Position’ and ‘Velocity’ classes, but they are not exported, and consequently they cannot be misused in the sense that the checks prevented. They also were O(n) on the size of the ordering, and were run each time some operation was performed over positions or velocities.

dbnR 0.5.4

• Additional security checks for the PSOHO algorithm

• Added an auxiliary function to reduce the frequency in a data.table by performing the mean of consecutive rows

• Added an auxiliary function to fold a dataset and not allow instances from different labeled series to be in the same row

• Added the possibility to introduce a previously folded dataset to the structure learning. This helps when the dataset has several iterations of the same process separated by id. If you fold the dataset directly, data from 2 or more different processes will appear in some rows, giving the impression to the model that the ending and the beginning of the processes merge into each other, which most likely is not true

dbnR 0.5.3

• Fixed the lack of imports from the ‘R6’ package with @importFrom, NOTE in CRAN checks results

dbnR 0.5.2

• Fixed the visualization of dynamic networks with no intra-slice arcs. The nodes were plotted in a horizontal line, now they are shown in vertical lines in each time slice

dbnR 0.5.1

• More extensive examples in markdowns/usage_example.Rmd
• Fixed the test dataset
• New learning algorithm present in the docs and readme

dbnR 0.5.0

• Refractored the structure learning to accommodate multiple algorithms
• Added a new particle swarm optimization structure learning algorithm (psoho)

dbnR 0.4.6

• Dropped std:vector in favor of Rcpp::Numeric/StringVector in gauss_transform.cpp
• Fixed a security check typo

dbnR 0.4.5

• Fixed .Rbuildignore markdown and media folders

dbnR 0.4.4

• Bug fixes in the evidence providing
• Typo fix in the “approx” mode of forecasting

dbnR 0.4.0

• Added the possibility to provide evidence in each forecasting step

dbnR 0.3.4

• Fixed the dependency on R (>= 3.5.0) rather than R (>= 3.6.0). CRAN checks for old released R versions failed because of this. The only difference is that running the package with R (< 3.6.0) displays the plot_dynamic_network() with a different color palette.

dbnR 0.3.3

• Fixed into and cat() into print(x, quote=FALSE)

dbnR 0.3.2

• Redid and added new examples to exported functions
• Fixing spell checking and successful builds
• Added NEWS.md file. Should have been added earlier.

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.
