RMark 2.1.5 and R3.0

Postby jlaake » Wed Apr 03, 2013 11:15 am

A new version of RMark has been posted to CRAN and will begin to appear on repositories in the next day or so. The list of changes are shown below.

Some of this I've mentioned before but the current and past versions of RMark package binary for Windows can also be obtained at:

The current version of the RMark source code is at:
https://github.com/jlaake/RMark

Also, when you update to the newly released 3.0 version of R, note the following change which is different from previous update releases:

... all users should note that this new release requires that packages will need to be re-installed, which means that after you install the new R, you should run the following command in it:

update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)


RMark 2.1.5
NEW FEATURES

* argument mata and associated arguments were added to model.average.list and model.average.marklist to enable calculation of confidence intervals based on Turek, D. and Fletcher, D. (2012). Model-Averaged Wald Confidence Intervals. Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, 56(9), p.2809-2815.
Daniel Turek provided the function mata.wald. In model.average.list the mata.wald function is applied to the estimates without any transformation if mata=TRUE. In model.average.marklist, the confidence intervals are applied to the estimates in the link space and then the end points are transformed to the real space.


CHANGES

* Modified code in extract.mark.output to allow = sign in formula for use of splines which was suggested by Alexey Altukhov and Eli Gurarie. An example is mark(dipper,model.parameters=list(Phi=list(formula=~bs(Time,df=3)))). splines package must be attached.


BUG FIXES

* modified release.gof which was not connecting to rel32.exe unless MarkPath was specified

* modified model.average.list which failed if var-cov matrices were provided for single estimates. Thanks to Alex Zerbini for discovering this problem.

* modified make.design.data so it did not create session.labels except for secondary parameters

* fixed bug in process.data which was always using age.unit=1 if there was not an age group.
