In SoerenPannier/emdi: Estimating and Mapping Disaggregated Indicators

emdi 2.2.0

• Extension of the ebp function to allow for population weights
• Extension of the ebp function to allow the aggregation of the estimates to different levels
• a more flexible use of the custom_indicator agrument within the ebp function

emdi 2.1.3

• Improved summary with clearer notation of R2
• Updated Area Level (FH) vignette
• Minor improvements in checking T/F in if clauses
• Increased dependency to R (>= 4.2.0) corresponding to the imported package MuMin

emdi 2.1.2

• Improved messages
• Copyrights updated
• Bug fix in direct variance estimation (direct)
• Bug fix in level orderings (ebp)
• Changed last name in description

emdi 2.1.1

• Fix to account for the changed behavior of as.vector() on data frames

emdi 2.1.0

• Extension of the ebp function to allow informative sampling
• Additional data-driven transformations for the ebp
• New additional vignette
• Example in write.ods fixed

emdi 2.0.3

• Robustifying tests to comply with alternative implementations
• Updated example for step

emdi 2.0.2

• Many S3-methods in the style of stats and nlme are implemented for the classes direct, ebp and fh
• Structure of S3-classes has been cleaned up
• The bootstrap parameter in the fh-function has been changed from a single number to a single number or a numeric vector with two elements to allow for separately controlling the number of bootstrap iterations for the MSE estimation and the computation of the bootstrap based information criteria
• Renaming the robustness constant in the fh function
• Minor fixes in the documentation
• Reducing the sizes of the data sets used for test that tests to decrease testing time

emdi 2.0.1

• Robustifying tests to comply with alternative BLAS/LAPACK implementations
• Robustifying tests to work with r-oldrel
• Updated R version dependency

emdi 2.0.0

• New additional vignette
• Change of argument order (model and direct) in function compare_plot
• Minor bug fixes in argument checkings and message handling
• Updated R version dependency

emdi 1.1.7

• Minor typos corrected
• Unit-Tests adjusted to the forthcoming R-Version 4.0

emdi 1.1.6

• New and updated references.

emdi 1.1.5

• Added feature: formula used in fixed is now preserved, even if passed to ebp as a variable

emdi 1.1.3

• The function compare_plot now benefits from a legend in all plots.
• Changes to be compatible with the forthcoming version of the MuMIn package.

emdi 1.1.2

• Small bug fixes
• Updated Vignette

emdi 1.1.1
