Version 0.4.0 [2024-04-01]

changes

• diffusion is now released under LGPLv2.1. The previous version under GPL(>=2) can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/mamut86/diffusion/releases/tag/v0.3.1

Version 0.3.1 [2024-03-30]

changes

• new automated removal of leading and trailing NAs. Error abort if NA within series
• new search optimisation argument (multisol)
• new option to partially fix/optimise parameters w in both diffusion and seqdiffusion
• new bootloss argument to control fo r different loss function of the bootstrapping
• added documentation for tsMetal.RData
• added internal sum squared error function for the optimiser
• added passing optim setting int trough Gompertz and GSGompertz initialisation
• added error handling for optimx function
• renamed argument l to loss (for l-norm selection)
• renamed argument x to y (the response variable)
• renamed argument optim to method (the optimiser selection)
• introduced argument initpar to allow manual initialisation, preset and automatic
• introduced argument mscal to scale market potential for better optimisation results
• introduced argument bootloss to choose from different loss function for bootstraps
• changed non-critical warnings to type message, to allow easy suppression
• is.diffusion() and is.bass() functions
• renamed option variable l to loss (for l-norm selection)
• renamed option variable x to y (the response variable)
• updated documentation for diffusion() - Thx Ivan!
• removed tsBroadband dataset due to data privacy concerns
• new search optimisation option

bugfixes

• issues with log errors - reverted error measure to v.0.2.7 for the time being
• fixed an initalisation issue on the weibull model
• fixed titles for graphs
• fixed typo in documentation for predict function
• fixed fcst table to contain same number as horizons
• fixed number of parameters that go into G/GS (only relevant if w.idx is active)
• fixed error when plot.seqdiffusion() was used with cleanlead = F
• fixed error in gompertz when cleanlead = F
• fixed the tsmetal issue - the object now has the correct name
• fixed error when plotting ts-object with cumulative = F
• fixed an error when eliminate was TRUE with 0 pval reps to stop.
• fixed the sequential diffusion pval elimination process
• fixed error when linearization fails and reverting now to preset
• fixed error when bootstrapping produced NA now ignoring NA and warning.
• included error check for pvalreps in seqdiffusion
• included error check for y to be vector or ts-object / matrix or mts for seqdiffusion
• included a revert method in case optimization fails and warning messages
