Package update 0.1.8 -> 0.1.9
New functions:
- The data_reducing function for eliminating product groups with small number of matched products;
- The shrinkflation function for detecting downsized products;
New dataset:
- The dataDOWNSIZED (artficial) scanner dataset on the sale of coffee products;
Improvements:
- The data_norm function is much faster;
- The data_unit has been corrected and now it works better. Its parameter units has now a new form (see the package documentation);
- The functions data_classifying and model_classification have been changed with respect to the returned columns. In the current version, the user may indicate the column with classes for training of the model. As a consequence, after product classification we obtain a new column named “class_predicted”;
- A meaning of the parameter ‘prec’ in functions for indicators (bennnet, montgomery, mbennet and mmontgomery) has been improved.
Package update 0.1.7 -> 0.1.8
Improvements:
- New references to some of multilateral methods have been added (e.g. GEKS-AGI, GEKS-AQU methods)

Package update 0.1.6 -> 0.1.7
New functions:

Package update 0.1.5 -> 0.1.6
Improvements:
- The elasticity and thus elasticity_fig are much faster now.
Bug fixes:
- An example in elasticity_fig has been corrected (there is no error now). The price_indices function has been corrected due to the lloyd-moulton sub-function.

New functions:
- New functions for price imputations (data_imputing) and for detecting new and disappearing products (products and products_fig).
Improvements:
- The data_preparing function has now two additional parameters which allow to consider zero prices and zero quantities.
- New methods for elasticity and elasticity_fig functions have been added.
Bug fixes:
- a new parameter has beed added to the function ‘price_indices’ (names). It allows to compare e.g. the same splice multilateral index but for many different splicing methods (their names can be distinguished).

Package update 0.1.3 -> 0.1.4
New functions
- New functions for bennet price and quantity indicators have been added (bennet and mbennet).
- New function for comparison of price indices by using the jackknife method has been added (compare_indices_jk).
Bug fixes
- A new parameter has beed added to the function ‘price_indices’ (names). It allows to compare e.g. the same splice multilateral index but for many different splicing methods (their names can be distinguished).
- The geksj function has been corrected for the case when we observe large number of decreasing prices.
- Problems with examples have been deleted (‘donttest{}’ formula is used)
Package update 0.1.2 -> 0.1.3
Bug fixes
- Graphical result of the compare_indices_list function has been corrected (a label concerning the X-axis is now named ‘date’)
- References have been updated in the case of the generate function.
- A wrong example concerning the geksgaqi_splice function has been deleted.
Package update 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2
New functions:
- New functions added: a) bilateral methods - value_index, unit_value_index, QMp, IQMp, QMq; b) chain indices: chQMp, chIQMp, chQMq; c) multilateral methods: gekslm, geksqm,geksiqm, utpd + their extensions (splice, FMW, FBEW). New function for generating artficial scanner datasets (generate_CES). Moreover: new (faster) function price_indices, new functions for price comparisons: compare_indices_df and compare_indices_list (old functions: compare_indices and compare_final_indices were removed). Rebuilt function final_index (old function final_index2 was removed). Rebuilt functions: elasticity and elasticity_fig (old functions elasticity2 and elasticity_fig2 were removed).
Improvements
- Improved speed of data_filtering and data_matching functions (data_matching is now based on the reclin2 package instead of reclin).
- Improved speed of multilateral index functions: geks, wgeks, geksj, geksw, geksl, geksgl, wgeksl and wgeksgl.
Package update 0.0.9 -> 0.1.1
New function
- One new function (expenditures) has been added (faster version of sales)
Changes
- System of weights in the TPD index has been changed. Now it corresponds to the system of weights used in “HICP Guide for Multilateral Methods”.
Improvements
Improved the speed of operation of all functions for price indices.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
