================ Version 0.2-1 ================ NEW FEATURES o The package now implements MCMC methods for Bayesian compound Poisson GLM in the function "bcpglm" with the use of latent variables. o The R package "coda" is imported so that a large number of functions and methods defined there are now directly applicable to the simulation results from "bcpglm" to help diagnose convergence and summarize posterior inference. CHANGES: (user-visable) o Various methods defined for the class "bcplm" and "bcpglm" (not user-visable, all in C code): o Change the use of "R_alloc" in "lbfgsb" to "Calloc" and "Free" (the old function eats up memory quickly) o Simplify rejection sampling of latent variables (now twice faster) ================ Version 0.1-3 (not released) ================ CHANGES (not user-visable, all in C code): o Fix a bug in rejection sampling of the latent variable o Fix a bug in specifying weights o Divide cpglm_str into three parts, one for data and parameters, one for latent variable, and one for EM related ================ Version 0.1-2 ================ NEW FEATURES o Add a wrapper of the profile likelihood approach to the "cpglm" function that runs automatically to generate estimate of the index parameter to arbitrary accuracy. CHANGES: o The MCEM algorithm is now implemented in pure C code o Remove the restrict on the "weights" argument (but not tested) o Add "beta.step" in "control" to allow skips in the update of beta o Allow "link" to be both character and numeric o Force coercion of argument type before callings the C function - thanks Mikel Esnaola Acebes for pointing out this bug o Re-write "summary" and "show" function to produce statistical test output automatically o Revise "residuals" to allow different types of residuals to be computed o Add methods for "formula", "AIC", "deviance", "model.matrix", "terms" o Output now returns "deviance", "aic" and "model.frame" o Tracing info from MCEM tidied up by showing only the dispersion, the index parameter, and the sample size (if necessary) o Fix bug in the definition of "[[", add methods for "["
