• Trying to fix bugs that pop up (seemingly at random) with rhub etc. checks.

tweedie 3.0.5 (Release date: 2026-01-30)

Changes:

• FORTRAN code restructured to make the similar flow in the three zones (initial; pre; accel) clearer
• Some fixes to documentation to pass tests.
• Some minor fizes to R code.

tweedie 3.0.4 (Release date: 2026-01-20)

Changes:

• Some fixes to implementation of IGexact

tweedie 3.0.3 (Release date: 2025-11-29)

Changes:

• Add IGexact for [dp]tweedie_inversion: whether to use exact values or inversion when p = 3.
• Fixed some comments

tweedie 3.0.2 (Release date: 2025-11-29)

Changes:

• All code moved from FORTRAN77 to FORTRAN90. Almost no FORTRAN code remains from version < 3.
• PDF and CDF computations consolidated and code shared where possible, substantially reducing the amount of FORTRAN code.
• Separated FORTRAN code into different files for easier debugging.
• Improvements to the acceleration algorithm and root-finding algorithms, so should work better for more cases.

• Added ptweedie_inversion() to the man page for dtweedie.
• Tidied the man pages; added examples.
• Removed the almost-never used dtweedie.stable() function.
• Changed function names (e.g, tweedie.convert() to tweedie_convert()).
• Separated R functions into separate files depending on purpose (e.g., dtweedie.R and ptweedie.R).
• Moved the tweedie_Extra files into the main package.
• dtweedie.igrand() (now tweedie_igrand()) to plot the integrand for the DF also.

tweedie 2.3.5 (Release date: 2022-08-17)

Changes:

Changes:

• Updated ptweedie.series() to fix a bug (reported by Lu Yang), where incorrect answers could sometimes be returned.
• Other minor fixes

• Other minor edits.

tweedie 2.2.10 (Release date: 2017-08-23)

Changes:

• Kept it even more quiet

tweedie 2.2.6 (Release date: 2017-08-22)

Changes:

• Fixed tweedie.f() to keep it quiet more often (sometimes, diagnostic reports meant for internal monitoring, were printed)
• Fixed a problem reported by Gustavo Lacerda, where ptweedie() returned NaN
• As a result, the series is now used in far more cases when 1<xi<2 for ptweedie()
• Changed rtweedie() algorithm for the case 1 < xi < 2 (thanks to Carlos J. Gil Bellosta)
• New function tweedie.convert() added

tweedie 2.1.7 (Release date: 2013-01-15)

Changes:

• Admin release (e.g. .First.lib() removed)
• Some minor edits to manual
• Added the control input to tweedie.profile() (thanks to Giri Khageswor, DPI Victoria)

tweedie 2.1.4 (Release date: 2012-10-31)

Changes:

• Fixed an error in dtweedie() that reported NA in the case when power=1 and phi != 1 (thanks to Dina Farkas)
• [dqpr]stable now in package stabledist rather then fBasics; fixed
• Fixed some typos in the help for tweedie-package (thanks to Peng Yu)
• rtweedie() reported an error if power = 1; fixed (thanks for Peng Yu)
• Edits to conform with new first argument of .Fortran (i.e. .NAME rather than name)
• Added NAMESPACE

tweedie 2.1.0 (Release date: 2011-06-09)

Changes:

• Changed tweedie.profile() to ignore values of p/xi outside (1, 2) rather than report an error.
• In some unusual cases, when p/xi = 0 was used (with add0 = TRUE), the mle of p was between 0 and 1 (which is impossible). We report a warning message to check the data and the call to tweedie.profile(), but then set the mle to the value of p/xi giving the larger value of the likelihood
• Made the functions usually called by users able to accept xi or power
• A few minor edits to FORTRAN code; some variables not declared

tweedie 2.0.8 (Release date: 2011-06-08)

Changes:

• Minor fixes to documentation
• Fixed the add0 input
• Some minor changes to the code to tidy up adding the zero
• If values of xi/p are given between 0 and 1, or less than 0, they are now omitted (with a message) rather than creating an error. If there are no values left after omitting the problem value, an error message is given.

tweedie 2.0.7 (Release date: 2010-09-30)

Changes:

• Ensured tweedie.profile() does not use power = 1. This case (power=1 and phi not equal to 1) is too hard for me to deal with at present.
• Fixed an error introduced in version 2.0.5, where the value of xi/vec/p.vec was set to 1.2 (y >= 0) or 1.5 (y > 0) when not explicitly specified
• Fixed an error that reported the wrong mle of phi when the mle occurred at an endpoint of the given xi values.

tweedie 2.0.5 (Release date: 2010-08-27)

Changes:

• Change to dtweedie.inversion() to ensure density = 0 is returned when y < 0 (1 < p < 2) or p <- 0 (when p > 2)
• Change to tweedie.profile() to fix a problem that p = 1 returned an error
• Changed so that tweedie.profile() works with p/xi = 0 when add0=TRUE (default is FALSE)
• Fixed some minor outputting messages (when verbose == 2)
  
• Location of CITATION file moved to correct location

tweedie 2.0.4 (Release date: 2010-07-12)

Changes:

• Minor edits

tweedie 2.0.3 (Release date: 2009-12-18)

Changes:

• Changed default p.vec: There were too many values
• Added the facility to refer to p as xi in line with GLMs text

tweedie 2.0.1 (Release date: 2009-11-17)

Changes:

• Changed the default p.vec when 1 < p < 2 to seq(1.2, 1.8, by = 0.05) (it was seq(1.2, 1.8, by = 0.1) )
• Slightly changed default output (added sep = “” to some paste commands)
• Added AICtweedie() to compute AIC for Tweedie glms

tweedie 2.0.0 (Release date: 2009-08-10)

Changes:

• Made method = “inversion” the default (was “series”)
• Slightly changed default output (added sep = “” to some paste commands)
• An error introduced earlier (unsure when exactly; prob v 1.6.1)
• In trying to identify and fix the error, tidied some of the FORTRAN code
• Made do.smooth = TRUE the default (was FALSE)
• If p.vec is not supplied, tweedie.profile() makes a sensible guess
• Made verbose = FALSE the default (was TRUE)
• Made minor changes to output when verbose = FALSE

tweedie 1.6.8 (Release date: 2009-07-18)

Changes:

• Correct error in dtweedie.saddle() when y = 0 for 1 < p < 2 (Thanks to Glenn Meyers GMeyers@iso.com)

tweedie 1.6.7 (Release date: 2009–06-30)

Changes:

• Correct error in rtweedie() when power = 1 and phi (Thanks to Frederic Gosselin frederic.gosselin@cemagref.fr)

tweedie 1.6.6 (Release date: 2009-09-19)

Changes:

• Corrected specification of GPL; no changes to functionality, code or documentation
• In dtweedie(), added power == 3 (inverse Gaussian) as a special case
• Minor change in documentation
• Added data, weights, and offset input arguments
• Fixed a bug where “=>” was used rather than “>=”
• Fixed a bug in tweedie.profile(): exact zeros still allowed p = 2 (but not p > 2)

tweedie 1.6.2 (Release date: 2009-02-16)

Changes:

• Fixed a bug in ptweedie.inversion() where variable cdf was undefined
• Fixed a bug in qtweedie() where any(power) < 1 should have been any(power < 1)

tweedie 1.6.1 (Release date: 2009-02-06)

Changes:

• Fixed error in tweedie.f() (twice) where a float was used in a do-loop
• Fixed a bug in ptweedie(): It now returns 0 when y < 0 (rather than reporting an error)
• Fixed a bug in ptweedie.inversion(): y.len was undefined
• Fixed a bug in dtweedie.inversion(): if( any(phi < 0) ) written as if (any(phi) < 0 )
• Built for R version 2.6.0
• Changed the tweedie.plot() to produce no default x and y labels

tweedie 1.5.2 (Release date: 2007-09-01)

Changes:

• Built for R version 2.5.1
• Removed the inversion computation from the example for dtweedie(); it was very slow and hence caused problems

tweedie 1.5.1 (Release date: 2007-05-03)

• Built for R version 2.5.0
• Fixed citation details
• Added note in dtweedie() help page indicating where the methods are defined (Dunn and Smyth, 2007).
• Added tweedie-package.Rd

• Built for R version 2.5
• Made change to use of pmatch() in function tweedie()
• Swapped the order of methods 1 and 2 in the call of tweedie.inversion to make consistent with a change in the associated paper Dunn and Smyth.
• Fixed an uninitialized variable error in the FORTRAN code which sometimes caused the inversion procedure to fail.
• Other minor changes (fixing spelling errors, updated Dunn and Smyth reference; etc.)
• Some very minor changes (some cosmetic) in the code
• Made the code more robust, exiting gracefully when Inf and NA appear in the computed log-likelihood
• Slightly changed the output plot in tweedie.profile(), to reflect that some value of p.vec may not have a corresponding likelihood computed accurately (or, indeed, at all)
• Added new function tweedie.plot() to make it easier to plot Tweedie densities

tweedie 1.2 (Release date: 2006-09-05)

Changes:

• Built for R version 2.0.0
• Major fix: The mle estimate of phi was incorrect in tweedie.profile() (thanks Sarah Lennox, QDPI&F) * Some better warnings in tweedie.profile()
• tweedie.profile() now allows the actual computed points to be added to the plot using the do.points option (default is TRUE)
• The tweedie.profile() function now smooth and computes confidence intervals even when the computed likelihood values contain Infs or NAs.

tweedie 1.01 (Release date: 2004-09-30)

Changes:

• Built for R version 1.9
• Fixed a bug in rtweedie(): it failed for p = 2 (thanks Sarah Lennox, QDPI&F)
