In smam: Statistical Modeling of Animal Movements

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.7.0

MAJOR CHANGES

• Added generic function estimate to retrieve estimation result for all fit functions.

• Added generic function vcov to evaluate covariance matrix of estimate for all fit functions' result.

• Added a new vignette.

• Added function rBB for simulation Brownian bridge.

• Added function rMRB for simulation moving-resting bridge.

MINOR CHANGES

• Updated package description by adding new references.

• Updated citation information.

• Added print_level to fitMRME and fitMRH that controls how much output is shown during the optimization process.

• Added appropriate PKGNAME-package \alias as per "Documenting packages" in R-exts.

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.6.0

MAJOR CHANGES

• Added moving-moving process include rMM(simulation), fitMM(point estimator), estVarMM(standard error).

MINOR CHANGES

• Fixed bugs in seasonal toolbox.

• Updated .cpp files to adapt the update of R package Rcpp.

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.5.4

MINOR CHANGES

• Modified estVarMRME_Godambe and estVarMRME_pBootstrap.

• Added 'f109' data.

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.5.3, 0.5.2, 0.5.1

MINOR CHANGES

• Fixed some bugs in solaris system. It is difficult to debug in solaris system. CRAN check packages in solaris system but I cannot do it locally. You can use R-hub to check your own package under solaris environment but R-hub does not support GSL, which is needed by smam. So, this is why I submitted such many versions.

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.5.0

MAJOR CHANGES

• Added moving-resting model with measurement error is modeled as Gaussian noise as fitMRME.

• Added estimator variance function for fitMRME as estVarMRME_Godambe and estVarMRME_pBootstrap.

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.4.0

MAJOR CHANGES

• Added moving-resting-handling model with both full likelihood and composite likelihood.

• Provided option to use only part of dataset to fit BMME model, moving-resting model and moving-resting-handling model (in function fitBMME, fitMR, and fitMRH).

• Provided tools for seasonal behavior analysis.

• Parallel code is implemented for moving-resting-handling model to speed code up.

• Added code for predicting state at given time point under MR model and MRH model (beta version).

MINOR CHANGES

• Added vignette for quick start.

• Redocumented whole package.

• Renamed rBmme -> rBMME, fitBmme -> fitBMME, rMovRes -> rMR and fitMovRes -> fitMR.

• Provided option to show simulated states in rMR and rMRH.

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.3.0

MAJOR CHANGES

• Added full likelihood based hidden Markov model

• Full likelihood and composite likelihood are now done with Rcpp

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.2.2

MINOR CHANGES

• Added Depends: R (>= 3.0.0).

• Corrected double to void of C function pmr.

CHANGES IN smam VERSION 0.2.1

MAJOR CHANGES

• First public release.
