News for R Package epigrowthfit

Changes in version 0.15.4 (2025-02-14)

BUG FIXES

• Tests in ‘tests/egf_utils.R’ wrongly relied on the type of the value of a call to seq.int, causing errors under R 4.5.

Changes in version 0.15.3 (2024-06-17)

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• egf_cache is removed. Serializing objects under tools::R_user_dir("epigrowthfit", "cache") for reuse in examples and tests introduced a race condition when running two or more checks concurrently, and workarounds were not appealing.

INSTALLATION

• emdbook is removed from the Suggests field of ‘DESCRIPTION’. A full check of the package requires only TMB and its dependencies.

Changes in version 0.15.2 (2024-04-24)

BUG FIXES

• Use ⁠\donttest⁠ for examples in ‘man/profile.egf.Rd’, which remained too long.

• Include URL in ‘man/covid19.ontario.Rd’ with ⁠\verb⁠ instead of ⁠\href⁠ to avoid HTTP 403.

Changes in version 0.15.1 (2024-04-24)

BUG FIXES

• Expand ‘⁠Description⁠’ field in ‘DESCRIPTION’.

• Add ⁠\value⁠ tags to two ‘man/*.Rd’.

• Clean up after par calls in plot method.

• Do not assign to global environment in simulate methods.

Changes in version 0.15.0 (2024-04-23)

NEW FEATURES

• A “traditional” model estimating function egf, returning model objects of class egf.

• Methods for generic functions: coef, confint, df.residual, extractAIC, fitted, fixef (from nlme), formula, getCall, logLik, model.frame, model.matrix, nobs, plot, predict, print, profile, ranef (from nlme), simulate, summary, terms, vcov.

• Auxiliary functions of use in epidemiology: R0, finalsize, timescale, [dpqr]gi.

• For as long as the version number is 0.y.z, details of the API are subject to change without formal deprecation. Significant user-visible changes will be documented here.
