r-cran-rms 4.4-1-1 / usr / lib / R / site-library / rms / NEWS

Changes in version 4.4-1 (2015-12-21)
   * contrast, residuals.lrm, survreg.distributions, val.prob, validate.ols: changed 1 - pnorm(z) to pnorm(-z) and 1 - pt(z) to pt(-z) to increase precision; thanks: Alexander Ploner
	 * tests/anova-ols-mult-impute.r: helps to understand sigma and sums of squares when ols is used with fit.mult.impute
	 * survplot.npsurv: added support for competing risk cumulative incidence plots - see the new state argument
	 * ols: fixed bug in which df.residual was n-1 when the fit was penalized.  Thanks: Mark Seeto
	 * %ia%: returned attribute iaspecial which TRUE when the interactions involved a categorical variable with exactly 2 levels and a variable that was not passed through lsp, rcs, pol
	 * Design: if an %ia% object has iaspecial TRUE modifies how mmcolnames is created for that model term to account for an inconsistency in R whereby a categorical variable involved in %ia% when there are only two levels does not generate the usual variable=non-reference value in the column names.
	 * bj, cph, Glm, lrm, ols, orm: changed to subset model.matrix result on mmcolnames to rigorously require expected design matrix column names to be what model.matrix actually constructed
	 * npsurv: add numevents and exposure objects to fit object so will have number of events by cause in case of competing risks (summary.survfit does not compute this) as well as with ordinary right-censored single events
	 * ggplot.Predict: inserted mapping and environment arguments to comply with ggplot generic
	 * legend.nomabbrev: fixed bug info$Abbrev (note A; thanks: Alvin Jeffery)
	 * Design: fixed bug, was not handling logical predictors correctly in mmcolnames.  Thanks: Max Gordon

Changes in version 4.4-0 (2015-09-28)

	 * demo/all.R: updated for plot and ggplot methods, npsurv
	 * cph, predictrms, rms, rms.trans, rmsMisc: changed Design function to return new objects sformula (formula without cluster()) and mmcolnames which provides a new way to get rid of strat() main effects and interactions involving non-reference cells; handle offsets in cph and predict() (not yet in Predict); new internal function removeFormulaTerms that does character manipulation to remove terms like cluster() or offset() or the dependent variable(s).  This gets around the problem with [.terms messing up offset terms when you subset on non-offset terms
	 * Glm, ols: fixed offset
	 * bj, Gls, lrm, orm, psm, Rq: change to new offset method and sformula
	 * Predict: added offset=list(offsetvariable=value)

	 * Design, cph: handled special case where model is fit on a fit$x matrix
	 * dxy.cens: exported
	 * cph: added debug argument

   * ggplot.Predict: new function for ggplot2 graphics for Predict objects
   * contrast.rms: added ... for print method (e.g., to allow digits=4)

   * Corrected bug in calibrate.psm (fixed -> parms)
   * predab.resample, calibrate.cph, calibrate.default, calibrate.psm: stopped putting results from overall initial fit into .Global and instead had predab.resample put them in attribute keepinfo, obtained from measure()

   * Used a namespace and simplified referenced to a few survival package functions that survival actually exports

Changes in version 3.0-0 (2010-05-16)
   * Made Gls not store data label() in residuals object, instead storing a label of 'Residuals'
   * Fixed handling of na.action and check for presence of offsets in Glm
   * Added type="cterms" to predict methods; computes combined terms for main effects + any interaction terms involving that main effect; in preparation for new geffects function
   * Added GiniMd and gIndex functions
   * Change lrm (lrm.fit) to use the middle intercept in computing Brier score
   * Added 3 g-indexes to lrm fits
   * Added 1 g-index to ols, Rq, Glm, Gls fits
   * Added 2 g-indexes to cph, psm fits
   * Added g to validate.ols, .lrm, .cph, .psm, but not to validate.bj
   * Added print.validate to set default digits to 4
   * Changed validate.lrm to compute 3 indexes even on ordinal response data

Changes in version 2.2-0 (2010-02-23)
   * Added levels.only option to survplot.* to remove variablename= from curve labels
   * Added digits argument to calibrate.default
   * Added new ref in val.prob help page
   * Corrected location of dataset in residuals.lrm help page (thanks frederic.holzwarth@bgc-jena.mpg.de)
   * Fixed latex.rms to latex-escape percent signs inside value labels
   * Added scat1d.opts to plot.Predict
   * Changed method of specifying variables to vary by not requiring an equals sign and a dot after the variable name, for Predict, summary, nomogram, gendata, survplot.rms
   * Added factors argument to Predict to handle the above for survplot
   * Made gendata a non-generic function, changed the order of its arguments, removed editor options, relying on R de function always
   * Thanks to Kevin Thorpe <kevin.thorpe@utoronto.ca> to make latex.summary.rms and latex.anova.rms respect the table.env argument
   * Fixed bug in calibrate.default related to digits argument
   * Re-wrote bplot to use lattice graphics (e.g., levelplot contourplot wireframe), allowing for multiple panels for 3-d plots
   * Changed all Rd files to use {arg1,arg2,...} instead of having empty {}

Changes in version 2.1-0 (2009-09-30)
   * Made Predict not return invisibly if predictors not specified
   * New option nlines for plot.Predict for getting line plots with 2 categorical predictors
   * Added rename option to rbind.Predict to handle case where predictor name has changed between models
   * Added ties=mean to approx( ) calls that did not have ties= specified
   * Added nlevels argument to bplot to pass to contour
   * Added par argument to iLegend - list to pass to par().
   * Redirected ... argument to iLegend to image( ).
   * Fixed groupkm - was printing warning messages wrongly
   * Added new semiparametric survival prediction calibration curve method in val.surv for external validation; this is the first implementation of smooth calibration curves for survival probability validation with right-censored data
   * Fixed calibrate confidence limits from groupkm
   * Added smooth calibration curve using hare (polspline package) for calibrate.cph and calibrate.psm
   * Added display of predicted risks for cph and psm models even for the stratified KM method (old default)
