In movedesign: Study Design Toolbox for Movement Ecology Studies

movedesign 0.3.1

Minor improvements

• Reduced file size for CRAN submission.
• Updated documentation of functions and missing tags to fit CRAN guidelines.
• Added properly-formatted reference DOIs.

movedesign 0.3.0

• Third release of movedesign.

New features

• Now fully supports multiple simulations within the same workflow.
• Added meta-analyses tab. Users can get mean estimates or compare estimates for two different groups (e.g. females/males).
• Users can test a specific number of tags, or get the minimum number of tags for a specific output.
• Users can propagate estimate uncertainty from the initial dataset into the simulated dataset.

Minor improvements

• Added outlier plots to Data tabs.
• Added warning messages in case of very low effective sample sizes.
• Report tab also highlights outputs from meta-analyses.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue during data upload due to missing argument (#3).
• Fixed Report tab bug, should now display the correct CIs (#3).
• Fixed bug where sampling duration/interval did not display correctly (#5).

movedesign 0.2.0

• Second release of movedesign.

New features

• Began support for multiple simulations within the same workflow.
• Expected errors will update to show the mean (and CIs if applicable) for multiple simulations.
• Can switch plots for each simulation (both for HR and trajectories).

Minor improvements

• Updated the tutorial.
• Updated installation vignette and documentation.

Bug fixes

• Fixed tables and blocks for multiple simulations.
• Added internal validation steps to stop invalid sampling parameters from crashing the app.

movedesign 0.1.1

New features

• Home range plots now also show the true 95% area.
• Added citation("movedesign").

Minor improvements

• Added a blocks module.
• Uploading/selecting data optimized.
• Added more alert and error messages when needed.

Bug fixes

• Uploading incorrectly labeled files no longer crashes the app.
• Fixed a bug in table outputs due to version 0.4.4 of reactable.
• Main guided tour should correctly follow new changes.
• fix_unit() should now deal properly with speed units.
• extract_pars() now works with all current movement models.
• guess_time() adjusted for short runs.
• simulate_gps() should now run properly when dur_unit is changed, and when dur is set to higher values.

movedesign 0.1.0

• Initial release of movedesign.

New features

• Guided tours now cover all modules.
• Report now covers scenario where both questions are requested.
• The function guess_time() now works for ctmm::speed() as well.

Minor improvements

• Changed log-scaling of plot within device tab to scale_x_log10().
• Tests have been added for abbrv_unit() and fix_unit().
• Tests have been added with the shinytest2 framework.

Bug fixes

• simulate_gps() now works properly within the defined limits.
• Fixed a bug with extreme timescale parameters in the sims tab.
• Fixed a bug in table outputs in the sims tab.

movedesign 0.0.9

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
