    + Updated vignette 'laeken-intro'.
    
    + Updated some help files.


Changes in laeken version 0.4.3

    + Bugfix in 'bootVar' when resampling clusters of observations rather than 
      individuals.


Changes in laeken version 0.4.2

    + Bootstrap variance estimation now contains an argument 'cluster', which 
      allows for resampling clusters of observations rather than individuals.
    
    + Bugfix in 'gpg': arguments 'gender' and 'method' are now passed to 
      'variance'.
    
    + Updated vignette 'laeken-intro'.


Changes in laeken version 0.4.1

    + Reduced run times of examples for 'bootVar' and 'variance'.
    
    + Functions 'arpt' and 'arpr' can now take a vector of percentages of the 
      weighted median to be used for the at-risk-of-poverty threshold.
    
    + Updated vignette 'laeken-intro'.


Changes in laeken version 0.4.0

    + Added example data 'ses' for the Structure of Earnings Survey.
    
    + Added vignette 'laeken-intro'.
    
    + Minimal changes in 'print' method for indicators.
    
    + Minimal changes in help files and vignettes.
    
    + Removed attributes from variable 'eqIncome' in example data 'eusilc'.
    
    + The level names of argument 'gender' in function 'gpg' can now be any 
      character string. Note: the first level of gender should always 
      correspond to females.



Changes in laeken version 0.3.3

    + New plot method for objects of class "paretoTail".
    
    + Package roxygen2 is now used for documentation.
    
    + Bugfixes in 'paretoQPlot' and 'meanExcessPlot': order of graphical 
      parameters 'pch', 'cex', 'col' and 'bg' for the data points is now 
      preserved.
    
    + Bugfix in 'meanExcessPlot': computation of weighted quantiles no longer 
      throws error.


Changes in laeken version 0.3.2

    + Package is built with flag --resave-data to avoid warning with R 2.15.0.


Changes in laeken version 0.3.1

    + New arguments in function 'paretoScale' for generalizations of Van Kerm's
      formula.
    
    + Updated author affiliation.


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 domain.
