statnet.common 4.10.0

  • as.cntrol.list.list() and hence snctrl() no longer clobbers nested controls, e.g., control.ergm(SAN=control.san(...),...).
  • To facilitate support for earlier versions of R, avoid using the built-in pipe (|>) for now.
  • New linear algebra utilities: ginv_eigen(), which performs generalised inverse via eigendecomposition rather than SVD, to be used by sginv() if snnd=TRUE; and xTAx_eigen() and xTAx_seigen() to evaluate the inverse quadratic form using eigendecomposition.
  • lweighted.var() and lweighted.cov() now take an additional argument onerow= to specify what they should return (NA, 0, or something else) if the input matrix has one row.
  • A new function var.mcmc.list() "method" to evaluate the covariance matrix for an mcmc.list without constructing a large matrix.
  • colMeans.mcmc.list() "method" no longer constructs a large matrix when calculating.

statnet.common 4.9.0

New utilities

  • A new function,lweighted.cov(), to compute weighted covariance between two matrices or vectors.
  • New linear algebra utilities, is.SPD(), sandwich_solve(), sandwich_ssolve(), sginv(), snearPD(), srcond(), ssolve(), xAxT(), xTAx(), xTAx_qrsolve(), xTAx_qrssolve(), xTAx_solve(), and xTAx_ssolve() moved from ergm and documented.

Bug fixes

  • In handle.controls(), arguments that are match.arg()-ed are now evaluated in the correct frame.

statnet.common 4.8.0

New utilities

  • A helper function unused_dots_warning() is exported that works with rlang::check_dots_used() to print an informative message.

statnet.common 4.7.0

New utilities

  • An S3 class term_list for storing terms extracted from a formula, by list_rhs.formula() and others, containing information about each term's sign and environment. Concatenation, indexing, and print methods are implemented.

Bug fixes

  • list_rhs.formula() can now handle NULL terms on the RHS.

statnet.common 4.6.0

New utilities

  • An implementation of Welford's online algorithm for calculating sample mean and variance has been added as a class Welford that implements method update() and maintains elements $n, $means, $SSDs, and $vars.

Bug fixes

  • snctrl() was issuing a warning twice when called with a misspelled argument.

  • deInf() now handles NULL input.

  • in locate_function() a subtle bug has been fixed in handling of visible as opposed to invisible objects.

statnet.common 4.5.0

New utilities

  • ergm's term locator functions (locate_function() and locate_prefixed_function()) have been moved from ergm.

  • A new function, default_options(), a wrapper around options() that drops options already set.

  • A new function, as.control.list() generic and methods which take an R list and call an appropriate control.*() function on it.

  • check.control.class() now first runs the control argument through as.control.list() and overwrites, so control= arguments to many functions can be plain lists.

  • A new function, simplify_simple(), which takes a list and returns an atomic vector if the elements of the list are atomic and of length 1, with particular handling for NULL and empty (0-length) elements.

  • A new function, snctrl() (StatNet ConTRoL), designed so that argument completion will complete all available control functions. Looking up its help (?snctrl) produces a dynamic list of all control parameters and their packages and control functions that is updated as packages are loaded and unloaded.

  • A new function, handle.controls(), that performs the most normal functions in a control.*() function.

  • Two trivial helper functions, base_env() and empty_env(), to replace an object's environment with baseenv() and emptyenv(), respectively.

  • A new function, fixed.pval() that wraps base::format.pval() with better default arguments.

  • A reimplementation of attr() is exported, which disables partial matching by default.

Enhancements to existing utilities

  • statnetStartupMessage() now first looks for a comment=(affil=...) for the contributor's affiliation, before using e-mail.

  • Improved output formatting for .Deprecate_once().

  • append_rhs.formula() now accepts NULL as the first argument, in which case it creates a new formula, and takes an additonal argument env=, which is used as this new formula's environment.

Miscellaneous changes

  • rle utilities are no longer reexported.

  • statnet.common no longer depends on purrr.

  • statnetStartupMessage() has been simplified.

statnet.common 4.4.0

rle utilities have been moved to a separate package, rle

  • Major methods are reexported, for now.

New utilities

  • split() methods for matrices and arrays, to split them along a margin.

  • trim_env(), a generic that will replace an environment (possibly attached to another object) with a sub-environment containing only objects whose names are specified.

  • A diff() method for control lists and a print() method for the resulting differences.

  • deInf(), to replace .deinf() in package ergm.

  • A compress() generic, a compress() method for RLEs, and a doNotCompress argument to rep.rle(). Both compact.rle() and the doNotCompact argument to rep.rle() are now deprecated.

Enhancements to existing utilities

  • Various optimizations have been made to RLEs.

  • nonsimp_update.formula() now handles both one and two sided formulas; it also now copies all names except ... when from.new = TRUE.

Bug fixes

  • str.rle() now works despite the overridden length() method.

statnet.common 4.3.0

New utilities

  • EVL(), a family of functions like NVL(), that treat any object of length 0 as NULL.

  • once(), a purrr-style adverb that wraps a function to only evaluate the first time it's called with a given configuration of arguments.

  • persistEval() and persistEvalQ() to retry evaluating a given expression a specified number of times.

Bug fixes

  • In forkTimeout(), don't collect a process twice. Thanks to Tomas Kalibera for suggesting the fix.

statnet.common 4.2.0

New utilities

  • .Deprecate_once() calls .Deprecated(), passing all its arguments through, but only the first time it's called.

  • .Deprecate_method() calls .Deprecated(), but only if a method has been called by name, i.e., METHOD.CLASS.

  • forkTimeout() evaluates an R expression with a hard time limit (except on Windows) by forking a process. Unlike setTimeLimit(), it enforces the limit even on native code.

  • ult() is a convenience function that extracts or replaces elements of a list indexed from the end.

Miscellaneous

  • statnet.common now depends on R >= 3.5 due to what appears to be a method dispatching bug in earlier versions.

  • The package no longer Enhances coda.

statnet.common 4.1.4

New utilities

  • despace() removes whitespace from a string.

  • Pseudo-methods colMeans.mcmc.list(), sweep.mcmc.list(), and lapply.mcmc.list() (migrated from the ergm package).

  • filter_rhs.formula() selectively deletes terms in on the RHS of a formula.

  • eval_lhs.formula() extracts the LHS of the formula and evaluates it in the specified environment.

  • NVL2() and NVL3() for flexible substitution of null values.

  • message_print() formats its arguments as if for print() or show() methods, but then prints to stderr like message().

Enhancements to existing utilities

  • paste.and() now takes an additional con= argument, allowing a conjunction other than "and" to be used.

  • ERRVL() now uses lazy evaluation and lets the user dot-substitute the previous argument's try-error into the next argument.

Bug fixes

  • Printing for control lists now works for function arguments.

  • A number of improvements to rle methods.

Miscellaneous

  • A number of functions have been renamed for consistency:

    • term.list.formula() → list_rhs.formula()
    • append.rhs.formula() → append_rhs.formula()
    • nonsimp.update.formula() → nonsimp_update.formula()

  • Citation utilities have been deprecated, since CRAN's structure makes them unusable.

statnet.common 4.0.0

  • The package now uses Roxygen for documentation.

  • term.list.formula() output format has been changed, since support of attributes on symbols is being deprecated.

  • A library of methods has been added for the base rle class, implementing concatenation, compaction, and a number of binary operations.

  • all_same() has been moved from ergm and renamed to all_identical().

  • A new assignment method NVL()<- overwrites a variable if its value is NULL.

  • A set of classes and functions for manipulating and efficiently performing calculations on dense matrices or vectors with weighted rows or elements (possibly on the log scale) has been added.

  • New control parameter helper function, control.remap() has been added. Autodetection of function names by set.control.class() and check.control.class() has been deprecated and now results in a warning.

  • Improvements to the compressed data frame code, including an order() generic.

  • Miscellaneous robustifications added.

  • Native routine registration has been added.

statnet.common 3.3.0

  • append.rhs.formula(), vectors.namesmatch(), term.list.formula(), and ergm.update.formula() (renamed to nosimp.update.formula()) moved from ergm.

  • Skye Bender-deMoll has been added as a contributor.

statnet.common 3.2.3

  • ERRVL() moved from ergm.

  • Some NAMESPACE and other fixes to pass CRAN checks.

statnet.common 3.2.2

  • control class improvements and bug fixes.

  • Updated e-mail address

  • Some improvements to opttest.

statnet.common 3.1.0

  • Initial release, incorporating the control class framework (set.control.class(), check.control.class(), print.control.list()); startup message framework; NVL(); sort.data.frame(); compress.data.frame(); paste.and(); citation utilities framework; and opttest() framework.
