SporeLag 0.1.1

Maintenance and packaging fixes; no user-facing API changes.

• Fixed the installation instructions in the README (replaced the <user> placeholder with the repository owner).
• Removed build and check artifacts (*.Rcheck/, source tarball, README.html) from version control and added them to .gitignore.
• Cleaned up the Authors@R field and citation metadata (inst/CITATION, CITATION.cff), removing a name suffix that was embedded in the family name.
• R CMD check now passes with no errors, warnings, or notes.

SporeLag 0.1.0

First release.

Exported functions

• complete_daily_grid() inserts rows for absent calendar days, within group.
• assign_iso_week() appends ISO 8601 week and year.
• assign_season() appends a configurable season label (meteorological, astronomical, or custom pollen-season breaks).
• impute_weekly_mean() fills missing daily values with the ISO-week mean and flags what it filled.
• build_moving_average() appends trailing (or centred) windowed means.
• apply_lag() appends time-indexed lags.

Data

• pollen_demo: synthetic daily pollen counts from two sites over one spring season, containing both gaps and missing values.

Design decisions

Two decisions with cross-cutting consequences were made before implementation and are recorded in inst/DESIGN-DECISIONS.md:

• DD-01. ISO weeks are computed in base R via the nearest-Thursday rule, not via strftime()’s %V/%G, whose behaviour has varied by platform. Output is identical on every operating system.
• DD-02. apply_lag() and build_moving_average() raise an error on a gapped daily grid rather than completing it silently. Call complete_daily_grid() first.

A note on defaults

Every default in this package changes what an exposure variable means — moving-average alignment, window inclusivity, min_obs, the season definition, the treatment of gaps. Changing a default is therefore a breaking change to the estimand, even when it is not a breaking change to the API, and will be documented here as such.

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.
