Romney 0.1.1 (development)

Statistical Corrections

• Correct the formal multiple-choice likelihood: each individual incorrect category has probability (1 - competence) / n_answers. This changes posterior probabilities and can change keys outside the reference datasets.
• Correct formal simulation to include the true answer among guessed options and remove the binary sample() singleton bias.
• Retain signed factor loadings in competence estimates and mean-competence diagnostics instead of silently clipping all factors to [0, 1].
• Report factor-extraction failures rather than substituting eigen decomposition.

Answer Keys And Diagnostics

• Add explicitly labelled binary weighted votes and original-scale informal weighted means. These are not Bayesian posterior probabilities.
• Add declared response categories, including unobserved options, to consensus().
• Return NA keys for ties, no-data items and impossible formal posteriors; attach item statuses rather than choosing the first category arbitrarily.
• Default to skipping formal/covariance keys with out-of-range competence. Explicit competence_policy = "truncate" affects only answer-key weights.
• Add factor_ss_loadings, retaining eigenvalues as a compatibility alias. Keep raw matrix eigenvalues separate, and retain extraction warnings, residuals, communalities and pairwise observation counts in diagnostics.
• Do not apply the probability-scale mean-competence threshold to informal data.

Validation And Documentation

• Validate dimensions, finite inputs, integer parameters, response levels, priors, overlap and undefined correlations before estimation.
• Preserve the caller’s random-number state when simulation uses an explicit seed.
• Expand mathematical, simulation and complete UCINET-table regression tests.
• Add a methods vignette, function examples and references, a citation file, reproducible comparison tables, and package-check CI.
• Add the maintainer’s ORCID to DESCRIPTION.
• Prevent reference-data imports from overwriting benchmark CSVs, and fix DL export directives that could consume a response as an embedded row label.

Romney 0.1.0

• Initial CRAN release of the formal, informal and covariance agreement procedures, minimum-residual extraction and formal answer-key estimation.

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.
