nomiShape 1.0.0

• Initial CRAN submission.
• Provides tools to visualize and analyze nominal (categorical, unordered) variable distributions.
• Introduces novel centered bar and dot plots, which arrange categories from most frequent at the center outward, allowing detection of distributional patterns such as uniformity, dominance, symmetry, skewness, and long-tail behavior — an approach not previously available in R.
• Includes functions to plot, analyze, and perform model comparison using AIC for nominal data shapes.
• Main functions: ranked_barplot(), centered_barplot(), centered_dotplot(), shape_comp_plot(), shape_aic().
• Designed for exploratory data analysis of nominal variables.

nomiShape 1.0.1

New data

• Added ufo dataset: 63,561 UFO sighting reports from the National UFO Reporting Center, with emphasis on nominal distribution shapes of reported object forms.
• Added categories4 dataset: synthetic nominal data designed to illustrate dominance and normal-like frequency patterns.

Improvements

• Revised shape_aic() to ensure consistent comparison across all theoretical shapes and alignment with shape_comp_plot() heuristics.
