bamp 2.2.0
- Effects (age, period, cohort) are now computed automatically inside
bamp() and stored in the returned object
(model$effects), so a separate call to
effects.apc() is no longer needed for the default median
summary.
- Fixed bug in
effects.apc(): cache check was looking for
x$effect (singular) instead of x$effects
(plural), and referenced an undefined variable in the cache
condition.
- MCMC chains now use warm starts: on a restart the previous sample
values are used as initial values, reducing burn-in time for automatic
convergence checking. First-run behaviour is unchanged.
- Fixed bug in cohort heterogeneity hyperparameter check
(
cohort="rw2+het" was not recognized correctly).
- Fixed typo in
period_covariate handling that silently
prevented vector coercion.
- Fixed
checkConvergence(): cohort convergence check used
age hyperparameter instead of cohort hyperparameter.
- Fixed hyperparameter display in
checkConvergence() info
output.
- Fixed memory leaks in C++ MCMC code (raw pointer allocations per
iteration).
- Fixed
GetRNGstate/PutRNGstate pairing in
random number generation.
- Added Cholesky decomposition error check with informative
message.
- Replaced fork-based
mclapply with socket-based
makeCluster/parLapply for reliable parallel
execution on all platforms, including macOS GUI environments (RStudio).
Falls back to sequential if cluster setup fails.
- MCMC chains that fail due to numerical errors are now discarded
cleanly instead of continuing with corrupted values.
- Cholesky decomposition now recovers from non-positive-definite
precision matrices (common with RW2 priors during tuning) by adding
increasing diagonal regularization and retrying, instead of aborting the
chain.
- Added unit tests.
- Updated CITATION to use
bibentry().
bamp 2.1.5
- bugfix RW2 by Chris Kypridemos
- Fixed population dimension handling in predict_apc.R by
pietrosa
bamp 2.1.3
- invalid UTF-8 in comment removed
bamp 2.1.2
bamp 2.1.1
- USE_FC_LEN_T for Fortran code
bamp 2.1.0
- Better default settings (burn in times ten, more informative prior
for age).
- Add warnings for failed convergence checks and removed chains in
bamp(), including suggestions.
- Add warnings for failed convergence checks in print.apc().
- Fixed unwanted doubling of MCMC when verbose=2.
bamp 2.0.8
- Minor bug fixes, fix “additional issues”.
bamp 2.0.7
- Better initial setting for restarting iterations; helps with RW2
priors.
bamp 2.0.6
- Introductory vignette renamed (double vignette name warning from
CRAN).
bamp 2.0.5
- Removed ambiguities (mail Brian Ripley) and clean up in C code.
bamp 2.0.4
- Added examples to all functions.
bamp 2.0.3
- Added more details to help pages.
bamp 2.0.2
- Reference in description changed.
bamp 2.0.1
