Version 1.3.6
*update the vignette with discussion regarding potential issues in
the use of information criteria for comparing non-linear regression
models
Version 1.3.5
- Added multPlot argument to plot.threshold to allow multiple
threshold model fits to be plotted on the same plot
- Added some new starting par values to Chapman Richards model in
grid_start = “exhaustive”, and corrected bug which errored grid_start
when n was too large.
Version 1.3.4
- For the power model only we now return (in the sigConf object) the
parameter estimates from a nls fit (using as starting par estimates the
par values from our fitting process). Using the nls fit, we also return
the confidence intervals around the par estimates generated using the
confint function - these should be more accurate than the default sars
CIs (2 * standard error)
- Corrected bug in find_one_threshold_cont and find_one_threshold_disc
which didn’t properly report warning that multiple par estimates
returned same minimum RSS
- Added same ‘multiple par estimates returned same minimum RSS’
warning and random selection to main grid_start function
- Adding verb argument to all individual model fits
- Adding display argument to sar_average and sar_multi
Version 1.3.3
*It was realised that the mmf and heleg models are (basically)
identical and almost always provide exactly the same fit. As such, the
mmf model has been deprecated and replaced with the sar_logistic()
model, i.e., the standard logistic model given in Tjorve (2003).
Version 1.3.2
- Changed mmi confidence interval function to fit all the models the
user originally selects to the boostrapped samples. Also so it takes all
of the original arguments (e.g. normatest, IC crit etc) provided by the
user.
- Now return residuals from the non-linear models as observed - fitted
rather than vice versa, to match lm and nls etc.
- Added power_area_time variant to gdm function, and changed the
linear power GDM function to fit the orginal GDM model of Whittaker et
al. (2008) - the ATT2 model (i.e. semi-log SAR)
- Removed the check which assigned a model with R2 < 0 as having
not converged.
- Now return optim model convergence info for all models in a
sar_average() fit (and its summary function).
- Changed grid_start to have three options: none, partial (default)
and exhaustive - key change to previous versions as now grid_start is
implemented as default.
Version 1.3.1
- Corrected bug in obs_shape function which meant it was not
recognising sigmoid fits
- this was linked to a bug in the function used to calculate 1st and
2nd derivatives (also corrected)
- Added new model shape category (convex/sigmoid) for epm1, asymp and
p1 models (allowing them to be tested for observed sigmoid shape)
- Corrected bug in plot function for sar_threshold meaning dataframes
with more than 2 columns could not be plotted.
- Changed gdm power function to return c rather than log c. And
corrected a bug for the intercept only power gdm model.
- Updated gdm function to return AICc and R2, and fit the GDM using
the linear version of the power and logarithmic models. Also implemented
a start_vals argument to provide starting values
- Corrected bug in homogeneity of variance test - it was previously
using the raw residuals rather than the squared residuals. And lin_pow
homog test was also using untransformed area rather than log(area).
- Changed the defaults for residual normality and homogeneity tests to
be “none” - then up to the user to turn them on and select which test
they want.
- Correcting number of parameters for DiscTwo in sar_threshold (from 8
to 9)
- Corrected bug in Chapman model function - the ^c term was in the
wrong place.
Version 1.3.0
- Added a set of functions for fitting, evaluating and plotting a
range of commonly used piecewise SAR models (see help page and
accompanying paper)
Version 1.2.3
- return shape algorithm fail info to model summary table
- added grid_start argument option to sar_average and sar_multi
- edited grid_start to ensure very small starting par values are
always included
- edited how grid_start works and have added a grid_n argument
- changed the negative exponential model fitting process so that the z
parameter can be any number rather than constrained between 0 and
1.
- changed the asymptotic model fitting process so that a negative
z-value cannot be returned
- bug corrections in the confidence interval function, and adapting it
to work with grid_start
- Changing model plotting to plot smooth curves by creating 1000
fitted values using fitted parameters
Version 1.2.2
- bug fix - no AICc option in confidence interval function
- changed AIC, BIC and AICc equations to be calculated using the same
approach as the nls and lm functions.
Version 1.2.1
- added a warning for when all richness values are identical
- adding functionality to plot.multi for plotting the multimodel curve
on top of the other model fits
Version 1.2.0
- bug fixes (bar plot of weight x-axis labels order was incorrect in
some cases)
- logT argument added to lin_pow function (can choose
log-transformation function)
Version 1.1.2
- bug fixes
- additional tests added
- sar_pred() function added for SAR extrapolation
- negative fitted value check (fit$neg_check) returned for each
individual model fit
- knitr error correction (for CRAN)
Version 1.1.1
- added vignette
- bug fixes
- internal updates
- Version archived on Zenodo
Version 1.1.0
- sar_multi() split into two functions: sar_multi() and
sar_average()
- New sar_multi() replaces fit_collection()
- unit testing added
- functions added to bring up a list of all models with
information
- bug fixes
