BSL 3.2.1 (Release date: 2021-04)

• Added DBI to suggests.

BSL 3.2.0

BSL 3.1.0 (Release date: 2019-11)

• Added a new method (“BSLmisspec”) in the main function “bsl”, which considers model misspecification when running BSL.
• Added an option “whitening” in the main function “bsl”, which allows greater shrinkage when using the Warton’s shrinkage estimator.
• Re-designed S4 classes “BSL”, “MODEL”, and “PENALTY”. More methods are supported in the classes.
• The package now uses a progress bar to track running progress in the “bsl” function (verbose = 1L).
• Other minor changes and bug fixes.

BSL 3.0.0 (Release date: 2019-07-01)

• Added a new method (“uBSL”) in the main function “bsl”.
• Two shrinkage methods (“glasso” and “Warton”) are available now for methods “BSL” and “semiBSL”.
• A new S4 object class “BSLMODEL” is introduced to encapsulate the simulation function, summary statistic function, a point estimate of the parameter value and other arguments that are related to the model of interest.
• “BSLMODEL” now uses log of the prior function for numerical stability.
• “BSLMODEL” supports vectorised simulation function (“fnSimVec”) that produces n model simulations simultaneously.
• A number of arguments (“fnSim”, “fnSum”, “theta0”, “fnPrior”, “simArgs”, “sumArgs” and “thetaNAmes”) are replaced by “model” and will be deprecated in a future release.
• Added a function “gaussianRankCorr” that computes the Gaussian rank correlation matrix.
• It is now possible to use Gaussian rank correlation (GRC = TRUE) in the “BSL” method for more robustness.
• Other minor changes.

BSL 2.0.0

• Second major release. Please note some arguments have been renamed.
• Added a new method (“semiBSL”) in the main function “bsl”.
• Now bsl returns an S4 class object instead of S3. The plot method gives an option for whether ggplot2 or R graphics (the default) will be used.
• The simulation function and summary statistics function do not need to have a list as the second argument now.
• The new bsl function uses “parallelArgs” instead of “parallel_packages”, where users can specify all arguments supported by “foreach”.
• Code update for three examples: MA(2), multivariate G & K, and cell biology.

BSL 0.1.0

• Initial release
• Includes BSL and BSLasso
• Data and code for three examples: MA(2), multivariate G & K, and cell biology
