memisc 0.95-31

Posted on Fri, 16 Jul 2010 18:55:05 +0100

A new patchlevel of my memisc package is available on this website.

The following changes were made since the last patchlevel:

2010-07-16: - fixed a bug in 'Simulate' that caused it to fail in certain situations in R version >= 2.11.

memisc 0.95-30

Posted on Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:42:18 +0100

A new patchlevel (0.95-30) of my memisc package is on CRAN now..

The following changes were made since the last patchlevel:

2010-04-12:

  • 'toLatex(mtable(),useDcolumn=FALSE)' should now produce useable LaTeX output (dollars are added to the table entries).

2010-04-09:

  • 'By' works now with 'genTable' and 'aggregate.formula'. It gains a 'data.frame' method, which better cooperates with calls to 'lm'-like functions. Their results get a 'data' component containing the subset of the data frame that was given as 'data' argument to the call of 'By'.

memisc 0.95-29

Posted on Thu, 8 Apr 2010 11:40:13 +0100

A new patchlevel (0.95-29) of my memisc package is on CRAN now..

The following changes were made since the last patchlevel:

2010-04-08:

  • fixed bug in 'cases'. It works now with target expressions even with 'within'.
  • 'write.mtable' now handles a 'forLaTeX=TRUE' option in a more convenient way.
  • 'mtable' now handles objects of classes "polr" and "simex", thanks to a contribution from Christopher N. Lawrence (Texas A&M International University)
  • support for 'mtable' output for "glm" objects with exponentiated coefficients and prelininary support for "lmer" object added, thanks to a contribution from Dave Atkins (Unversity of Washington). Also the coef.styles are changed to be more convenient.

2010-04-07:

  • fixed bug in C-level function 'read_sysfile_subset' that caused spurious errors while importing SPSS 'system' files with long strings.
    This patchlevel fixes the following spurious errors:
    str_count out of bounds, 8*str_count = 248, STRMAX = 256

Updates of munfold and mclogit

Posted on Wed, 7 Apr 2010 21:28:34 +0100

I just uploaded updates of my packages munfold and mclogit onto my website. The updates have now a more complete documentation so that they pass R CMD check. These updates have also been uploaded to CRAN where I hope they will soon be made publicly available.

memisc update

Posted on Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:28:59 +0000

A new patchlevel (0.95-26) of my memisc package is on CRAN now.

The following changes were made since the last patchlevel:

2010-03-11:

  • fixed bugs in mtable and format.mtable. Short 'summary.stats' arguments or 'summary.stats=FALSE' should work now.

2010-03-06:

  • fixed bug in genTable/percentage: total counts disappeared if a factor level had the same name as the name given to the total count
  • changed the default value of the 'digits' option of the matrix method of the toLatex generic to the more sensible getOption("digits")
  • the matrix method of the toLatex generic gains new optional arguments 'show.vars', 'show.xvar', and 'show.yvar', which determine whether the name of the row and/or the column variable should be shown if the matrix is a 2-dimensional table.
