NEWS
Changes in laeken version 0.3
+ New function 'gpg' for estimating the gender pay (wage) gap.
+ Fixed function 'bootVar' for package 'boot' >= 1.3-1.
Changes in laeken version 0.2.3
+ Corrected mistake in formula for weighted Hill estimator in vignette
'laeken-pareto'.
Changes in laeken version 0.2.2
+ New function 'shrinkOut' for Pareto tail modeling to shrink outliers to
the theoretical quantile used for outlier detection.
Changes in laeken version 0.2.1
+ Fixed help files for 'meanExcessPlot' and 'paretoQPlot' on Microsoft
Windows systems.
+ Fixed package reference in vignette 'laeken-variance'.
Changes in laeken version 0.2
+ Functions for fitting a Pareto distribution now have an additional
argument 'x0' to specify threshold directly instead of using number of
observations 'k' in the tail.
+ In the graphical exploration of the data using 'meanExcessPlot' or
'paretoQPlot', sample weights can now be considered and the threshold
(scale parameter) can be selected interactively.
+ Function 'paretoQPlot' now simply uses logarithmic y-axis to show the
labels in the scale of the original values.
+ Changed default axis labels in 'paretoQPlot'.
+ Sample weights can now be considered when fitting a Pareto distribution
using 'thetaHill', 'thetaISE' or 'thetaPDC'.
+ New function 'calibVars' for convenient construction of binary variables
for calibration.
+ New functions 'paretoTail', 'replaceTail', 'replaceOut' and 'reweightOut'
for improved methodology for Pareto tail modeling with a common interface.
+ Row names of the example data 'eusilc' are now given by 1 to the number
of rows.
+ New wrapper function 'weightedMean' for the (weighted) mean.
+ New function 'paretoScale' for estimating the threshold for Pareto tail
modeling.
+ Totals for calibrated bootstrap variance are now by default computed from
the original data using the Horvitz-Thompson estimator.
+ Added package vignettes 'laeken-standard', 'laeken-pareto' and
'laeken-variance'.
Changes in laeken version 0.1.3
+ Minimal changes in help file for 'calibWeights'.
Changes in laeken version 0.1.2
+ Bugfix in 'thetaWML' for bias correction term with weight function based
on standardized residuals.
Changes in laeken version 0.1.1
+ Bugfix in 'bootVar' in case of breakdown by year and stratum.
