DescTools 0.99.19 (2017-02-09)
------------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
   * Unwhich() returns a logical vector with TRUEs on given positions (inverse which()).
   * BootCI() is a wrapper for calculating simple bootstrap confidence intervals for
     univariate and bivariate measures.
   * MatrixPower %^% from expm has been added.
   * PlotDev() is a wrapper useful for creating graphic files (TIF, ...).
   * AllSubsets() composes formulas and calculates brute force lms and glms.

     grouped data.
   * BarText() places text in stacked barplots.
   * TitleRect() places a rectangular title in a plot.
   * as.CDateFmt() converts "dd-mm-yy" format to C format codes.
   * Phrase() assembles a small text for describing the means of two groups.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
   * CramerV() gets a new argument "method" for calculating confidence intervals by
     using fisher transformation, which is considerably faster than using the noncentral
     chisquare distribution for bigger n.
   * As usual numerous updates in help files.
   * KappaM() will run faster avoiding table function in a for loop.
   * The data.frame interface of ToWrd() gets two new arguments, as.is and row.names.
   * Format() gains a new format option "frac" for displaying fractions (based on
     MASS::fractions()).
   * Format's results have the additional class "Format", which is used to define
     a print function, displaying the values without quotes and aligned to the right.
     (print(x, ..., quote=FALSE, right=TRUE))
   * StrChop() gains a new argument pos for entering the positions of the cuts and
     supports vectors of x now.
   * StrCap() gains new method for capitalizing titles.
   * PlotFun() experiences some slight adaptations in axes defaults.
   * Desc will report the percentages for NAs and 0s.
   * Desc.numeric looses the standard error for the mean and gains the according
     confidence interval.
   * TOne will accept a function for the test, allowing to change the used test
     (typically aov or kruskal.test) and format the p value.
   * TOne gets an argument to omit totals.

BUGFIXES:
   * WrdParagraphFormat(wrd=wrd) <- para would have prevented compilation on R-devel
     because of the named argument. (Credits to Tomas Kalibera)
   * TOne() would have mixed up footnote signs for numeric tests.
   * Hmean() returned 1/mean(x) instead 1/mean(1/x) since 0.99.18. (Credits to
     Christian Koot)
   * LOCF() would not have returned leading NAs in a vector correctly. (Credits to
     Daniel Wollschlaeger)
   * Desc data.frame displayed a title with multiple lines for long definitions.




DescTools 0.99.18 (2016-11-04)
------------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
   * ColumnWrap wraps texts within columns. This allows data.frames with wide
     texts to be printed wrapped over several lines in the same column.
   * Abstract() generates a somewhat less technical summary of a data.frame than str().
   * CoefVar() returning the coefficient of variation gains an interface
     for lm- and aov-objects.
   * WrdTableRange, WrdMergeCells, WrdFormatCells are functions useful to format
     cells in a Word table.
   * Unit has the same function as Label, but for units.
   * Some does for n random elements of an object what head does for the first n.
   * PalDescTools has been renamed to Pal.
   * The DescTools palettes can be plotted now by plot(Pal(i)).

   * A handful new functions for validating GLMs have been added: PseudoR2, MAE,
     MSE, RMSE, MAPE, NMSE, NMAE, BrierScore
   * A new function Fmt() returns user defined format templates. as.fmt() creates
     the structure for such formats.
   * ModSummary() and TMod() build a table of given linear models, useful to compare.
   * HosmerLemeshowTest used for testing glms has been integrated.
   * GeomTrans() can be used to transform a geometric structure by translating,
     scaling and rotating.
   * Basic linear modeling functions VIF() and StdCoef() have been added.


UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
   * Numerous updates in help files.
   * digits argument is now passed through to Format.
   * Desc.data.frame now makes use of the new function Abstract() instead
     of old str() for giving the initial overview.
   * XLGetWorkbook has been brushed up to return all data areas in an Excel
     Workbook as list.
   * XLGetRange will now do what was promised in the help when no range is defined.
   * FileOpenCmd gets new format options compared to old ImportDlg.
   * PlotFdist gets a new logic for the y-axis of its histogram.
   * Palette has been reorganised. PalHelsana, PalTibco etc. have been replaced by
     Pal("Helsana") etc. Pal() takes its default value from the options("palette").
     `Pal()<-` can be used to set the option.
   * Mean and Var get a new argument weights for weighted mean, resp. weighted variance.
   * Trim will not longer return a sorted vector. The indices of the trimmed values
     will now be returned in an attribute "trim".
   * Rotate accepts xy.coords and returns the same class (instead of a list).
   * Rotate will choose the centroid of the given polygon instead of the fixed
     point (0,0) and gets a new argument allowing to define the aspect ratio.
   * DrawRegPolygon returns a xy.coords object instead of a list.
   * PlotLinesA will use lines instead of usr coordinates for placing the
     legend text. The distance of line segements can now be controlled in more
     detail.
   * DescToolsOptions have been fundamentally reorganized, as they were grown
     organically and organized chaotically (for not saying: not organized at all ...).
     See ?DescToolsOptions for all the details.
     "fixedfont" must now be defined as list, "footnote", "col" are now vectors instead
     single values and formats (fmt) are organized as list. (see also new function Fmt()).
   * In Gini() x will be casted to numeric avoiding overflow for large integer vectors.
   * Hmean() and Gmean() get an option for calculating confidence intervals.
   * lines.Lc for plotting Lorenz curve gets a CI-option.
   * StrDist gets an ignore.case argument.
   * Functions using ConDis for calculating concordant discordant pairs, as
     Kendall Tau-B, Somers Delta and Stuart Tau-C, will run much faster
     with a O(n log(n)) implementation (as long as no CIs are needed).
   * IsDichotomous gets a new argument strict for checking for strictly two levels
     and a na.rm argument, which is set to FALSE by default.


BUGFIXES:
   * PairApply simply overwrote the diagonal with 1, which was inappropriate.
     Functions are now also evaluated for diagonal elements.
   * TOne would not have displayed column names, in case there were only
     boolean variables in the data.frame to describe. (credits to Beat Bruengger)
   * CombN used a wrong formula for the number of permutions with no
     repetitions respecting order. (credits to Carlos Redondo-Figuero)
   * PlotDot erroneously reversed the order of datapoints, when simultaneously
     supplied with group data and error bars.
   * TOne would not have displayed variables with just one unique value.

DEFUNCT:
   * The data.frame interface for Label was ambiguous. A data.frame is now
     treated like any other object.
   * SetLabel made no longer sense, since Label and `Label<-` had been defined.
   * ImportDlg has been renamed to FileOpenCmd as it had nothing to do with import
     of data.
   * WrdText has definitely been replaced by ToWrd.
   * WrdR has always been a code study and has been removed.
   * PlotHorizBar has been removed. barplot can do everyhing it could...
   * Ray has been redesigned to Abstract().

   * ToWrd gets an interface for ftables.
   * XLView gets a new default for the argument rownames, which will
     now be FALSE by default.
   * PlotFdist gets a new argument args.curve.ecdf allowing to superpose
     a function to the ecdf-plot.
   * PlotFdist's default argument for the bw of the density curve changes to
     bw = "SJ", which turns out to be the better default for n < 1000.
   * Large and Small have been recoded in C++ (thanks to Nathan Russel) to run
     faster and get a renamed argument (na.last instead of na.rm).
     So far they are supposed be the fastest on the market...
   * PartCor has been renamed to CorPart, as it can be better found with that name.
   * Format gets a new format code "eng" for engineering format.
   * StrDist gets an additional method "normalized levensthein".
   * PlotMultiDens gets an additional parameter fill for coloring the areas.
   * PlotWeb gets a lwd argument for defining freely the lined widths.
   * In Recode the argument newlevels is replaced by the dots argument. This
     is the same rationale as in Rename.
     *** This change has the potential to break existing code, I apologize! ***
   * Numerous updates in help files.

BUGFIXES:
   * Desc for variables with only one value won't raise an error any more.
   * Conf for rpart will find the reference now.
   * Bug fixed in BreslowDayTest (credits to Michael Hoehle and Jean-Francois Bouzereau)

------------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
   * Lookup wraps the function "match" offering a slim interface.

     default language for daynames when used by Format, stamp optionally places
     a timestamp on plots.

   * Several corrections and adaptations to the help files.
   * GoodmanKruskalTauA has been renamed to the more specific GoodmanKruskalTau.
   * StrAlign gets a new interface for left, right and center alignment. See help.
   * AddMonths has been splitted in two: AddMonths (for dates) and AddMonthsYM for integers.
     The ceiling option has been removed, as it was useless. All the rest of the
     arguments are now being recycled.
   * RoundM has been renamed to RoundTo.
   * PlotRCol has been renamed to ColPicker and gets a new argument "locator".
   * Desc has been conceptually rewritten to follow clearer S3 class design and
     to be more consistent in the arguments (while improving performance).
     A print and a plot method are now available. PlotDesc(x) has
     therefore been replaced by plot(Desc(x)).
     (I fear this has the potential to break your code, I apologise for that ...)
   * The class interfaces .default, .formula etc. are by default not exported anymore.
     This applies to the function PageTest, LeveneTest, JonckheereTerpstraTest,
     CochranTest, HotellingsT2Test, DunnTest, DunnetTest, MosesTest, NemenyiTest,
     PostHocTest, YuenTTest, ZTest, SignTest, RunsTest, ScheffeTest,
     MeanDiffCI, Format, Label, Rev, Sort, PercTable, Lc, EtaSq, PlotArea,
     PlotMultiDens, PlotBubble, PlotViolin, Lc, LOCF, Untable, WrdTable.
     Use methods and/or DescTools:::MyTest.default to address, if in rare cases needed.

   * StrRight and StrLeft will accept negative n number of characters for cutting
     characters either right or left.
   * ToWide can now merge several parts of a data.frame by a key.
   * PlotLines gain new arguments pch, pch.col, etc. for superposing points.

     to "two-sided".
   * MeanCI, MedianCI and VarCI get a new argument "sides" for one sided confidence intervals.
   * PlotFdist displays the mean and its confidence intervall by default in the boxplot.
   * BarnardTest and BartelsRankTest have other alternative options.

BUGFIXES:
   * Documentation of GoodmanKruskalTau cited the wrong formula.
   * Corrected gcc-UBSAN issue with big integers in GCD.
   * PlotDot mistakenly reversed the order of labels, when defined as vector and did not
     handle groups correctly.
   * Hmean reported an error, when supplied with a NA vector, instead of simply
     returning NA and shut up.
   * Desc.numeric would not always have sorted the whole vector, which in some cases
     resulted in incorrect unique and extreme values.
   * StrAlign would not alwas have trimmed white space on the right side.

KNOWN PROBLEMS / TODOS:
   * Leading zeros and big.mark can not be used together in Format.
   * DoCounts should get an O(n log(n)) implementation, containig std. errors.
   * We have not reached our goal yet - documentation is still not finalized, some functions
     not tested thoroughly enough, others have rather a proof of concept status -
     but we are well on our way to achieving it. Systematic check over all
     function interfaces, ensuring consistency with R-standards and DescTools
     conventions will be performed next.

DEFUNCT:
   * WrdTable will now do the job of old WrdAddTable.
   * WrdGetFont and WrdSetFont have been replaced by WrdFont and `WrdFont<-`

   * Desc.table will now report ChiSquare test results with cont. correction
     only for 2x2 tables (and without contcorr for rxc tables) by default.

   * DescNumNum will only display the given function y ~ x anymore (leaving out x ~ y).
     The smoother can now be set to "loess"" or to "spline".
   * PlotDesc.table will interpret col1, col2 as a vector of colors for the two mosaics,
     instead of two colors spanning a color ramp.
   * MarginTable has been renamed to Margins, to delimit it from margin.table.
   * IsLeapYear accepts integers instead only dates as argument.
   * Stamp looses the arguments wdpath and time, wheras txt can be defined
     more flexible either as expression or as free text.


BUGFIXES:
   * Desc.numeric would not have reported the correct number of zeros, in case zero was
     the smallest value in x.


DescTools 0.99.13 (2015-08-24)
------------------------------

BUGFIXES:
   * Fix for a serious memory-access error (thanks to B. Ripley).

   * As usual some adaptations to new R-Devel.
   * StrPad's argument width gets a default value NULL, taking the maximum length of x.
   * Desc has been fundamentally redesigned to avoid redundant calculations.
     Expensive parts has been coded in C++. Some functions will run up to 10-times faster.

   * HuberM gets a new interface, hiding some technical arguments and adding the option
     for confidence intervals.
   * Strata has been partly rewritten, but some previously available methods are not
     yet implemented.

BUGFIXES:
   * Bug in CohenD fixed.
   * ColorLegend would erroneously have reversed the colour labels.
   * WrdDesc.table did not correctly produce the plot.
   * tcltk has been moved from imports to suggests, as loading DescTools in RStudio under
     linux would sometimes have hung (credits to Henk Harmsen for telling).

DescTools 0.99.10 (2015-03-15)
-----------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
   * SaveAs brings up file.choose for saving a R object.
   * Explore is back again, as the package "manipulate" is on CRAN meanwhile.

   * Calculation of winsorized variance, used for confidence intervals for trimmed
     means in MeanCI, is much faster for large x.
   * Format code restrictions for dates have been formulated more liberal such as
     to allow formats like "yyyymmdd".
   * Desc.numeric will no longer refuse to describe numeric vectors with
     additional classes.

     with the option to adjust p-values for multiple testing.
   * PostHocTest gains a new option "duncan", computing Duncan's MRT
   * Dunn's test of multiple comparisons using rank sums added (DunnTest).
   * DunnettTest performs a Dunnett multiple comparisons test.
   * lines.smooth.spline does for this smoother, what lines.loess did for loess.
   * RndPairs returns pairs of correlated random numbers.
   * BubbleLegend creates a legend for bubble plots.
   * Format combines the functionality of the old functions FormatFix and FormatSig
     and adds some extensions like leading zeros and dates.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
   * Min has been renamed to Minute and Sec to Second.
   * Hour, Minute, Second do accept POSIXct times now.
   * CorCI loses the argument *twotailed* and gains the argument *alternative*.
     This is following the logic in other test- and CI-functions.
   * Assocs has been redesigned to run faster (but it still has accelerating potential..)
   * Untable has been extended to support frequency form of tables (a data.frame
     with levels of the factors and a "Freq" column).

   * Desc.data.frame accepts a main vector, allowing the user to define his own main captions.
   * Lorenz curve function Lc gains a formula interface for creating groupwise curves.
   * PlotBubble gains a formula interface and some more arguments, e.g. args.legend.

   * AreaIdent has been renamed to IdentifyA (which seems to be more intuitive).
   * MeanCI has been enhanced to calculate confidence intervals for trimmed means.
   * StrVal gains two new arguments paste and as.numeric.
   * Many smaller changes on the documentation and helpfiles.
   * PairApply argument "symmetric" gets another default value: "FALSE" instead of "TRUE".
     This seems more robust, as the other way round potential errors are more likely.


DEFUNCT:
   * WhichNumerics, WhichFactors, WhichFlags are not needed anymore.
     which(sapply(x, IsNumeric)), sapply(x, IsDichotmous), sapply(x, is.factor) do the job.
   * DescFactFact is a relict and obsolete. Use of Desc.formula or Desc.table is recommended.
   * FormatFix and FormatSig have been replaced by the new function Format.
   * Explore has been removed because of its dependency for the package "manipulate"
     (which is not on CRAN). It might be added again built on tcltk down the road.


BUGFIXES:
   * plotit was not correctly interpreted in Desc.factor (credits to Thomas Schlesinger).
   * PlotVenn did not correctly place the figures in the 2-sample case (credits to Andrew Marritt).

-------------------------------

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
   * Outlier has been changed to strictly following the boxplot logic.
   * DescToolsOptions gains a default argument allowing to reset the options.
   * WrdText allows to set some paragraph format and text color now.

BUGFIXES:
   * anyNA is only defined for R >= 3.1, the according dependency has been defined.
   * the key.ico file has been placed in /extdata directory and should definitely
     be found now by the function PasswordDlg().  (shame on me..)

	   to add lines to a barplot which are aligned to the middle of the bars.
   * The argument "quant" in CutQ has been renamed to "probs", according to the naming in quantile.
   * PlotFdist has a new option "curve" to be used to add e.g. a normal density
     curve to the histogram.
   * AndersonDarlingTest calculation logic was replaced with the newer Marsaglia approach.
     (I'm not sure, whether this was wise. Tell me what you think about that!)
   * JarqueBeraTest gains a new argument *robust*, calculation a robust version of the test.
   * StrPad has been given recycling power for all arguments. The "str" argument has
     been renamed to "pad".
   * The argument "type" in MeanCI, MeanDiffCI, MedianCI, VarCI has been renamed to "method"
     such as to be consistent with others CIs.
   * The argument verb in Desc.table has been renamed to "verbose" and its allowed
     values to "medium", "low" and "high". Anyhow this change will not break existing
     code, as abbreviation is allowed.
   * Desc-functions have been cleared out, resulting in better consistency and faster
     and more robust behaviour.
   * LOCF gets a faster implementation.


BUGFIXES:
   * Bug corrected for Cramer's V confidence intervals.
     Credits to Steven J. Pierce for spotting the problem and to Michael Smithson for fixing it.
   * The icon file for the PasswordDlg could not be found resulting in the dialog not being displayed.
   * PlotFdist did not handle args.boxplot = NA correctly, meaning no boxplot being displayed.
   * Hmean will now report NA if any x < 0.
   * LsFct did not only list the functions but all objects of a package.
   * StrChop did not chop the last part of the string correctly.
   * DescWrd would not have run on Word versions other than German because of a local template name.
     This should be fixed for all language versions now.

   * PtInPoly checks whether points lie within a defined polygon or not. (credits to SDMTools)
   * IsWeekend does what you'd expect it to.
   * StrAbbr abbreviates strings from the right while ensuring that they remain unique.
   * PalDescTools collects a few more palettes.
   * BinomDiffCI yields the confidence interval for a difference of proportions.
   * Outlier returns a vector of values marked as outliers in boxplot.
   * StrVal extracts all numbers out of a string.
   * SampleTwins draws a sample with comparable strata properties.

   * KendallW calculates Kendall's coefficient of concordance.
   * KrippAlpha calculates Krippendorfs' Alpha reliability coefficient.
   * PlotQQ plots a QQ-plot for a variable with an assumed distribution.


UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
   * PlotGACF will not plot ACF(0) any more. Lags instead of phases will be used for
     ts-objects as x-axis.
   * Desc.integer looses its maxlevels argument and gains "maxrows" and "freq". See help.
   * TukeyBiweight gains a na.rm argument and has been changed to use .Call
     instead of old .C function.
   * MeanDiffCI gains a formula interface.
   * HighLow uses a more efficient algorithm, based on the function Large/Small.
   * PlotWeb gains a couple of new arguments, making it more flexible.
   * AreaIdent gains a new argument poly. With poly=TRUE a polygon instead of a
     rectangle can be used to select the interesting points.
   * PlotCorr gains a border and lwd argument, allowing a grid being added.
   * ZTest has been extended with the option to handle 2 sample tests in the same manner as t.test.
     Moreover a formula interface has been added.
   * PpAddSlide will now set a newly inserted slide as active slide.
   * The artificial data.frame d.pizza has been given more structure between the variables.


BUGFIXES:
   * AddLm(x, y, ...) created the wrong formula x ~ y instead of the correct y ~ x model.
   * Corrected bug in function StrDist: wrong initialisation for Levenshtein distance.
   * Corrected a bug in BinomCI identified by Steven Kern in the modified Jeffreys interval
     for binomial proportions.
   * AddConnLines confused the space argument between horiz=FALSE and horiz=TRUE.
   * shapiro.test would have stopped the Desc procedure, if a variable had only identical values.
     This has been corrected so, that the error message will be printed, while the
     function Desc will proceed to describe remaining variables.
   * PoissonCI was not yet fully implemented.


OTHER NOTES:
   * Updated the NEWS file.
