In DescriptiveRepresentationCalculator: Characterizing Observed and Expected Representation

DescriptiveRepresentationCalculator 1.1.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed undocumented parameter b in RelativeRepresentation() documentation that caused R CMD check warnings.

• Fixed division by zero error in RelativeRepresentation() when standardize = TRUE and the standard deviation equals zero. Now returns NA with a warning.

• Fixed README example that used invalid PopShares values summing to 4/3 instead of 1.

• Fixed vignette formula notation to correctly show R = b + a * sum(...) matching the actual implementation.

New Features

• Added input validation across all core functions:
• PopShares must sum to 1 (within tolerance)
• PopShares values must be non-negative
• Empty body handling with informative warning
• Warning when body members don't match any population group

Documentation

• Added comprehensive documentation for RelativeRepresentation() to the package vignette, including examples and interpretation guidance.

• Updated vignette to document all four main package functions consistently.

DescriptiveRepresentationCalculator 1.1.0

• Initial CRAN release.
