In SVA-SE/freedom: Demonstration of Disease Freedom (DDF)

freedom 1.1.0 (2022-03-17)

CHANGES

• Added unit tests for all functions in the package
• Added functionality to the hse_finite function to allow for rounding, floor or ceiling to adjust the estimates for small fractions so that the minimum design prevalence is 1/N which is a reasonable approach in some cases. Thanks to Petter Hopp for this code.

BUG FIXES

• A bug was fixed in the hse function which incorrectly selected the infinite_hse method when the sampling fraction is 1. This is now corrected and when the sampling fraction is greater than the threshold argument, the hse_finite is used as expected. To be clear, this bug probably did not result in errors very often as it should be a rare case that every member of a target population is sampled in a surveillance initiative.

freedom 1.0.1 (2020-09-04)

CHANGES

• Removed line numbers from sample data.
• Added tests for proportions not between 0 and 1

BUG FIXES

• Removed all tests that required values to be identical after a mathematical operation. This resulted in non-identical results when testing on R without long doubles. There were some other places in the code where tests did not fail but could under simple circumstances and this was also improved to allow a tolerance of 1e-7.

freedom 1.0 (2020-08-28)

• First release.
