_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._6._0._0:

        • Removed deprecated functions.

        • Created internal functions for in-place modification of
          ‘pparamArray’ within the ‘mif2’ function. When the number of
          units and particles is large, this change results in
          substantial improvements in computational speed by avoiding
          unecessary memory creation and garbage collection.

        • Removed unused variables.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._5._0._0:

        • Streamlined ‘panelPomp-methods’ documentation.

        • Added ‘panelMeasles’ to ‘panelPomp’ models documentation
          family.

        • Fixed redirected link in documentation.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._4._1._0:

        • Added two new datasets: ‘twentycities’ and ‘uk_measles’.
          These data contain measles incidence data from 20 UK cities.

        • Added a new ‘panelPomp’ model example: ‘panelMeasles’.

        • Added Aaron Abkemeier as a package contributor.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._4._0._1:

        • Added Jesse Wheeler as one of the package authors in citation
          file.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._4._0._0:

        • Changed package maintainers

        • Updated package governance file and website

        • Standardized package version numbering system to four point
          system.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._3._1:

        • Fixed broken links in function documentation.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._3._0:

        • Changed the default ‘cooling.type’ argument in the ‘mif2()’
          function to be ‘"geometric"’ in order to be consistent with
          the ‘pomp’ package.

        • Added ‘format’ argument to ‘coef.panelPomp’ method, with
          options ‘c("vector", "list")’. This functionality makes the
          ‘pparams’ function obsolete, so it has been removed from the
          package in this version.

        • Changed the ‘pParams()’ function name to ‘toParamList()’.

        • Modified the ‘toVectorPparams()’ function so that it returns
          a vector instead of a ‘data.frame’ object with a single row.
          The name of the function was also changed to ‘toParamVec()’,
          and is a near inverse of the ‘toParamList()’ function.

        • Updated unit tests and documentation.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._2._0:

        • Change the generic ‘unitlogLik’ to ‘unitLogLik’ to match
          camel-case style of package. The original function is
          deprecated in this version and will be removed in future
          updates.

        • Changed ‘panelPomp’ S4 object slot name from ‘unit.objects’
          to ‘unit_objects’ in order to be consistent with ‘pomp’
          pacakge. Corresponding getter and setter methods for this
          slot have also been changed from ‘unitobjects()’ to
          ‘unit_objects()’.

        • Added generics ‘shared()’, ‘shared()<-’, ‘specific()’, and
          ‘specific()<-’. These generics provide convinient access to
          parameters of a ‘panelPomp’ object, but the setter methods
          also allow for changing a parameter type between shared and
          unit-specific.

        • Added function ‘runif_panel_design()’, which is useful for
          generating design matrices for PanelPOMP models.

        • Minor typo fixes to package and function documentation.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._1._0._2:

        • Added a type check for the ‘params’ arguement of the
          ‘pfilter’ function in order to throw more user friendly
          error.

        • A more user friendly error is thrown when the user specifies
          a parameter as both shared and unit specific in the ‘mif2’
          function.

        • Added a ‘match.arg’ call in ‘mif2.internal’; this will allow
          the default option for the ‘cooling.type’ argument in ‘mif2’
          to no longer throw an error, and mimics the behaviour of the
          ‘mif2’ function in the ‘pomp’ package.

        • The ‘pParams’ function no longer changes the order of the
          unit specific parameter names; this was causing an error
          because the ‘barycentric’ parameter transformation requires
          that the parameters are adjacent to one another in the
          parameter vector.

        • Improved documentation for ‘panel_logmeanexp’.

        • More robust input checking for the ‘pfilter’ function with
          user friendly error messages.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._1._0:

        • Improved documentation and tests.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _1._0._0:

        • Submitted to CRAN.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._1_8._0:

        • Fixed bug in ‘fromVectorPparams()’ to make it a true inverse
          of ‘toVectorPparams()’.

        • Homogenized documentation; added examples.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._1_5._0:

        • New coercion to ‘pompList’ and update to list.

        • ‘panelGompertzLikelihood’ replaces ‘kalman_gompertz.R’.

        • expunged ‘panelPompExample’.

        • Names added to plot; ‘pfilter’ matches units by name.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._1_4._0:

        • New ‘simulate’ function.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._1_3._0:

        • New ‘panelRandomWalk’ example.

        • ‘panelPompExample’ is now deprecated and will be removed in
          the near future.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._1_2._0:

        • New ‘plot’ method for ‘panelPomp’ objects.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._1_1._0:

        • Additional functions implementing Kalman filtering to panels
          and to the Gompertz model.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._1_0._2._0:

        • Minor improvements to the interface.

        • Additional examples: ‘contacts()’ and ‘panelGompertz()’.

        • The minimum version of ‘pomp’ supported is now ‘2.7’.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._9._1:

        • The minimum version of ‘pomp’ supported is now ‘2.1’. While
          this is likely to imply substantial changes in ‘pomp’ objects
          (on which ‘panelPomp’ objects rely) there are only three
          fundamental changes that break panelPomp's backwards
          compatibility:

        • The first argument ‘pfilter(object, ...)’ changes to ‘data’.

        • The first argument ‘mif2(object, ...)’ changes to ‘data’.

        • The ‘conv.rec’ method has been deprecated, replaced by the
          new ‘traces’ method.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._8._3:

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._7:

        • A new ‘conv.rec’ method.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._6:

        • Many improvements to the interface.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._5._6:

        • ‘panelPompExamples()’ now allows creating ‘panelPomp’ objects
          that come with the package.

        • New documentation and tests.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._5._5:

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._5:

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._4:

        • New tests added.

        • New methods.

        • A bug in ‘pfilter’ and ‘mif2’ has been fixed (‘pomp’'s
          default filtering tolerance ‘tol=1e-17’ was used instead of
          values specified by the user). Thanks to Aaron King for
          finding it.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._2:

        • New tests added.

        • Eliminate need to protect ‘rw.sd’ from being evaluated.

_C_h_a_n_g_e_s _i_n '_p_a_n_e_l_P_o_m_p' _v_e_r_s_i_o_n _0._1:

        • Unused variable purged.

        • ‘pPfilter.internal’ streamlined.

        • Test for reproducibility of pfilter calculations added.
