NEWS file for the ergm package

Changes in version 0.2.1

NEW FEATURES

• marg_cond_sim() now has an argument for how to handle when the constrained sample has a higher variance than the unconstrained. (Previously, it would always throw an error.)

BUG FIXES

• Fixes for documentation issues flagged by CRAN and compatibility with the latest roxygen2.

OTHER USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Some citations updated.

• When the optimized block-diagonal proposals encounter an initial network with off-block-diagonal edges, they no longer throw an error but rather use the ergm 4.6.0+ proposal declination API.

Changes in version 0.2.0

NEW FEATURES

• gofN objects now how augment and autoplot methods for Tidyverse and ggplot2 diagnostics.

• plot.gofN() and autoplot.gofN() are now more flexible in how they label extreme points via the id.label= argument.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed how parallel processing settings are handled in gofN() and marg_cond_sim().

Changes in version 0.1.2

BUG FIXES

• marg_cond_sim() now expects control.gofN() as its control= list.

• Some unit test tolerances have been loosed, making false positives less likely.

• Miscellaneous documentation fixes.

OTHER USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Tweaks to the combine_networks() API to make it more robust, space-efficient, and flexible; in particular to make it possible for tergm to depend on it rather than maintaining its own copy.

Changes in version 0.1.1

NEW FEATURES

• In the Layer(nw, attrlist) specification, attrlist= can now be a named vector, in which case the layers are renamed accordingly.

BUG FIXES

• Tolerance for some tests of the N() operator has been increased. This fixes a sporadic issue on M-series MacOS systems due to using a different linear algebra library.

• A bug in gofN() for valued ERGMs has been fixed.

OTHER USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• A number of optimisations in multilayer ERGM code.

• [Layer] Logic backend now uses integer arithmetic, for a significant speed improvement, at the cost of behaviour slightly inconsistent with R's, such as / behaving as %/% (integer division).

Changes in version 0.1.0

NEW FEATURES

• Initial public release.
