About the contents of this directory

This directory contains the two examples discussed in the paper, along with the data and transcripts of R sessions. They are provided for reference.

Update on version 0.25.4

Version 0.25.1 of distcomp relied on imports from httr version below 0.6.x. Since then, package httr has been updated to version 1.x using a new curl library and distcomp has now been updated to account for them. The changes are pretty minor but the parameters for the httr::POST requests that distcomp makes are different: the SSL options are now named with underscores and the parameter values are now not logical but integer, with 0L for FALSE and 1L for TRUE. All our examples work as before (see the examples in the doc directory). The transcripts here have been updated for version 0.25.4 of distcomp with session information along with some improvements.
