Highlights

This release introduces variance-stabilizing transformations for ideally distributed visual meteor magnitudes (vmidealVstFromMagn()) as well as for visual meteor magnitudes under a geometric distribution (vmgeomVstFromMagn()).

Highlights

This release introduces variance-stabilizing transformations for the ideal distribution of visual meteor magnitudes (vmidealVstFromMagn()) as well as for visual meteor magnitudes under a geometric distribution (vmgeomVstFromMagn()).

Other changes

The function vmperception() now better matches the perception probabilities of Koschack & Rendtel (1990b). The argument deriv.degree has been removed, as it was only intended for internal testing and had no practical relevance for regular use.

Laplace-transformed perception probabilities have been replaced by variance-stabilizing transformations, which also means that the function vmperception.l() has been removed.

Note: This release includes breaking changes and is not fully backward compatible due to the removal of parameters and functions.
