NEWS for ALFAM2 R package

ALFAM2 v4.2 (8 Nov 2024)

Parameter correction

The latest default parameter set was revised slightly to reflect new results after making corrections to the parameter estimation procedure. Resulting predictions will be slightly different than in v4.1.11 and earlier. In some cases the change may be around 1% of applied TAN, but is typically smaller.

Documentation

Available default parameter sets are now documented in a separate help file. View it with ?alfam2pars or ?alfam2pars03 etc.

A new paper describing recent developments in the package has been published and is now listed in the help files and vignette.

ALFAM2 v4.1.6 (31 July 2024)

Other changes

alfam2() function now checks that all pass.col are in the dat data frame (see issue #92).

ALFAM2 v4.1.5 (23 June 2024)

Bug fixes

Fix a phantom incorporation effect on the r3 parameter that could show up with inconsistent user inputs (see issue #87).

New content

A NEWS.md file (this file) has been added.

ALFAM2 v4.1.3 (17 June 2024)

Bug fixes

• Use of conf.int in the alfam2() function no longer returns incorrect message about user-defined parameters

New features

• With conf.int = 'all' the alfam2() function will now return a parameter set index column in the output, which is convenient for further processing (e.g., for relative effects)

Documentation

• The latest parameter set is now correctly identified as 3 in the alfam2() help (documentation) file, where additional details were added

Other changes

• A problem with macOS checking of the package caused by deliberate errors in the vignette (for demonstration) was fixed using purl=FALSE (thanks to Ben Bolker and Ivan Krylov)
• Some implausible wind speed values were corrected in the vignette
