In ordinalsimr: Compare Ordinal Endpoints Using Simulations

ordinalsimr 0.2.2

• Update tests to fit updates to {ggplot2} package and its use of S7

ordinalsimr 0.2.1

• Allow users to specify a step size in the sequence of sample sizes in the Shiny app
• Fix bug in progress bars where they would not update if the sample size was of length 1
• Only display progress bars if their underlying simulation is running
• Add a confidence interval toggle button to the Shiny power plot
• Replace distribution plots with box plots in the Shiny app to better visualize the distribution of the data
• Remove magrittr dependency
• Use dynamic labeling of x-axis in the Shiny app to better reflect the data being plotted

ordinalsimr 0.2.0

• callr::r_bg() is now used for between- and within- group simulations in the Shiny application to enable the user to continue using the application while the simulation is running, and to run the processes in parallel to one another
• A "Kill Simulations" button has been added to the Shiny application to allow the user to stop the simulation process if it is taking too long. Simulations are still killed when the application is closed
• Progress bars have been added to the Shiny application to show the progress of the simulations, and the user can open or close the progress bars with a button
• Additional validation checks have been added to the Shiny application to control the rendering of plots and tables that require reactive elements
• fisher.test() now defaults to simulate.p.value = TRUE. This should reduce computational load and time particularly with larger group sizes and when simulations have a larger number of ordinal categories
• The package now requires "bslib" version 0.9.0 or higher to use the navbar_options option in page_navbar()
• Change the DOI in the citation file to the general Zenodo repository link
• A modal pop-up indicating the limitations of running the app on ShinyApps.io is available, and only triggered with the option is.shinyapps.deployment = TRUE. This is to inform users that the app may not run as expected on ShinyApps.io due to the computational intensity of spawning multiple R processes.

ordinalsimr 0.1.3

• Updates to match CRAN submission standards

ordinalsimr 0.1.1

• Create DOI via Zenodo and add to CITATION file

ordinalsimr 0.1.0

• Significantly refined the UI
• Allowed more options for pre-setting simulation inputs, created a .onLoad to set some of these values, and created the set_ordinalsimr_options function to allow users to set these values themselves.
• Added a custom CSS file
• Updated version of {renv} in use
• Added {ordinalsimr} to the ignored packages in renv/settings.json
• Use bslib::bs_theme(version = 5, bootswatch = "materia") for theming the app
• Create a zipped download of the report, the Rmd file to create the report, and the data generated by the simulation
• Expose more parameters to the downloadable report
• Create tests for .onLoad behavior

ordinalsimr 0.0.0.9000

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