In singleRcapture: Single-Source Capture-Recapture Models

singleRcapture (development version)

singleRcapture 0.2.3

• BugFix for anova and other not working methods
• Tests for not working methods added
• Small changes to the documentation

singleRcapture 0.2.2

• Fixing documentation typos and errors
• plot now has a default value of qq
• vignette added based on the paper submitted to the JSS

singleRcapture 0.2.1.2

• Bugfix for interaction terms in formula not being considered
• Small changes in summary for marginal count distributions
• Small fixes for standard errors in predicted means
• Code coverage raised to nearly 90%
• The logLik.singleRStaticCountData method now has a type argument that, if set to "function" makes the function return the minus log-likelihood function (by default) or if deriv argument is set to 1 or 2 respectively either a gradient or hessian of log-likelihood function.

singleRcapture 0.2.1.1

• Bugfix for tests failing with noLongDouble

singleRcapture 0.2.1

• Fixed bugs in IRLS fitting when providing weights argument when calling estimatePopsize
• The weightsAsCounts option in controlModel now works properly, dfbeta and dfpopsize decrease weight of selected row in a model matrix instead of deleting it when this is set to TRUE
• simulate method now works for both family object (like ztpoisson()) and for objects returned by estimatePopsize
• Introduced singleRStaticCountData sub class for singleRclass and made estimatePopsize a method so that a new package singleRcaptureExtra (under development) can make all necessary calculations for pop size estimation when providing object fitted by countreg::zerotrunc or VGAM::vglm/VGAM::vgam
• Some bugfixes for multicore bootstrap
• Code was re-factored to make further development/maintenance for the package much easier
• Update will be uploaded to CRAN
• semiparametric bootstrap now has a much faster sampling algorithm (that does the same job)

Unit tests: Reduced computational burden of unit tests Multicore tests will only be performed after TEST_SINGLERCAPTURE_MULTICORE_DEVELOPER is set to "true" via Sys.setenv and _R_CHECK_LIMIT_CORES_ to false

singleRcapture 0.2.0.1

• Added offset argument to estimatePopsize
• Added options for parallel computing in bootstrap and in dfbeta
• Added deviance for all negative binomial based models. (NOTE: They are very slow for now and I believe it may change after I verify one theoretical results that will lead to significant speed increase for these computations)
• Overhaul of starting points (new methods and added linear predictors start in IRLS)
• Code for weights in IRLS fitting was speed up
• Minor bugfixes

singleRcapture 0.2.0

The package is now at CRAN

• features and improvements:
• Added final Hurdleztnegbin model
• Vastly improved redoPopSize which now handles bootstrap on a fitted model non standard covariance matrixes newdata argument user supplied coef etc.
• Added predict.singleR method which offers standard error for both link, response as well as mean predictions
• No unexpected warnings should occur now in main function when using the package correctly
• All control arguments are now verified before being passed
• Fitting is now more reliable
• Added information about stats::optim error codes

• Added warnings for functions computing deviance

• bugfixes:

• fixed bugs occurring when using mathematical functions as part of formulas i.e. when setting formula to something like: y ~ log(x) + I(x ^ t) + I(t ^ 2)

singleRcapture 0.1.4

• features
• Added ztoinegbin, oiztnegbin and ztHurdlenegbin models
• Added an optional arguments to all family-functions to specify a link function for distribution parameters
• Updated and standardized documentation
• Added more warnings

• Added some more methods for singleR class in some commonly used glm functions, in particular texreg::screenreg should work well now

• changes

• Changed some default arguments

• Added option to save logs from IRLS fitting

• bugfixes

• Fixed some issues with intercept only models

• Fixed some slight miscalculations in information matrixes for one inflated models making fitting them much more reliable

• github repository

• More and better Rcmd tests

singleRcapture 0.1.3.2 -- NTTS

• features:
• Added function that implements population size estimates for stratas
• More warnings in fitting
• More options in control functions

• Corrected/implemented deviance residuals for more models

• changes:

• Now the whole package uses cammelCase
• Performance upgrades
• Corrected some miss calculated moments
• Change exported data so that factors are actually factors not just characters

• Removed unused dependency

• github repository

• Added automated R-cmd check

singleRcapture 0.1.3.1

• features:
• Basically all of documentation was redone and now features most of important theory on SSCR methods and some information on (v)glms
• Added checks on positivity of working weights matrixes to stabilise "IRLS" algorithm
• Added most of sandwich capabilities to the package, in particular:
  • S3 method for vcovHC was implemented
  • vcovCL should work on singleR class objects should work with "HC0" and "HC1" type argument values
• Basic version of function redoPopEstimation for updating the population size estimation after post-hoc procedures was implemented
• popSizeEst function for extracting population size estimation results was implemented
• Minor improvements to memory usage were made and computation was speed up a little
• Changed names of mle and robust fitting methods to optim and IRLS respectively
• Some bugfixes
• More warnings messages in estimate_popsize.fit

singleRcapture 0.1.3

• features:
• Multiple new models
• IRLS generalised for distributions with multiple parameters
• bugfixes
• QOL improvements
• extended bootstrap and most other methods for new models

singleRcapture 0.1.2
