DescTools 0.99.31 (2019-12-21)
------------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
  * WrdUpdateFields() can be used to update fields in a Word document.
  * Mgp() does the same for axis title, labels and line as Mar() does
    for the margins.
  * PlotPairs() is a more specific pairs() variant. 
  * IQRw() supports weights for calculating the interquartile range.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
  * ToXL() uses a faster create function for XL column names. 
  * ToXL() will use a more elaborated export for tables, matrices and arrays.
  * GetNewWrd() will insert a title at the bookmark "Main" in the document.
  * CramerV() and TschuprowT() get a bias correction option.
  * Recycle uses an optimised "getmaxdim" logic (thanks to moodymudskipper 
    for the suggestion).
  * Mode() gets a more elaborated interface and returns all modes if there
    are several.
  * SetNames() will recycle provided names and supports abbreviations.    

BUGFIXES:
  * ToWrd() for characters works again after an error crept into v. 0.99.30
    (due to insufficient testing).
  * TTestA() did not exclude the paired option, which should have been the case.
    (Credits to Vilmantas Gegzna)
  * Dummy() will always return a matrix instead of dropping dimensions which 
    have only one level. (Credits to Daniel Wollschlaeger)
  * XLGetrange() will not refuse to import areas with XLErrors now, cell formatted
    as dates will be recognised and empty areas will not cause an error 
    anymore.
  * MedianCI will now correctly use conf.level for method="exact" and also
    return the realised conf.level. 
  * Corrected predict call for vglm in PseudoR2. (Thnks to Danie Wollschlaeger)    
 

DEPRECATED:
  * PlotDev() X was both a desperate and unsuccessful attempt to rid the analysis
    code of superfluous technical reporting code. The new approach uses meta-code
    together with ToWrdWithBookmark(), which does not require any changes to 
    the original code. As a result, PlotDev() has been removed.
  
  
  

DescTools 0.99.30 (2019-10-21)
------------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
  * CompleteColumns() will return the names of complete columns of a data frame.
  * ToWrdB() sends the output of a code chunk to Word and tags it with
    a bookmark.
  * ToWrdPlot() does the same with a code chunk producing a plot. It plots to
    a tiff device and imports the graphic in MS-Word. These two functions allow
    to dynamically update word documents with new R-results.
  * WrdOpenFile() is used to open Word documents.
  * CmToPts() and PtsToCm() convert between centimeters and points.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
  * Mode() gets a real fast Rcpp implementation. (Credits to Ralf Stubner 
    and Joseph Wood)
  * Desc.numeric() will notify when the mode has higher frequency than 5%
    (which is likely to be remarkable within a numeric variable).

BUGFIXES:
  * PseudoR2() will work with negative binomial models again.
  * Untable would not have returned the expected results in some combinations 
    of column names. (Credits to Vilmantas Gegzna for detecting this issue)
  * Desc() would not have handled unnamed lists. (Again Vilmantas noticed this)       



DescTools 0.99.29 (2019-09-26)
------------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
  * StrSpell() can translate a string to NATO phonetic alphabet or Morse codes.
  * XLNamedReg() can be used to import named regions in Excel by giving the
    name or the sequence number. This can be used in connection with XLGetRange().
  * WithOptions() is an interesting approach to evaluate expressions under 
    temporarily set options.
  * With SaveAs() it's possible to save an R object under a different name.
  * Quot() calculates successive divisions in the same way as diff() does with 
    successive differences.

  * Several corrections in help texts.
  * roulette, cards, tarot have been extended
  * Format() will ignore scipen=0 by default, use scipen=1 in future.
  * Format() will pass through the digits argument for formatting p-values 
    (fmt="p").
  * SetNames() will use "names" for unnamed arguments as default instead of 
    returning the unchanged input vector.
  * BlankIfNA() gets a new argument for defining what is meant with "blank".  
  * PseudoR2() is using reformulate() instead of update() in order to improve
    interoperability within the tidyverse, especially support tibbles created 
    by purr::map. (Credits to Inferrator)
  * ConvUnit() will now convert time units to weeks and vice versa.
  * AUC() gains new arguments according to its original version in package MESS.
    (Credits to Claus Ekstrom and Tatiana Lust)

BUGFIXES:
  * plot(Desc()) for xtabs will work now.
  * OddsRatio for glms would have misplaced confidence intervals, if 
    a coefficient in the model could not be estimated and was set to NA.
  * Calculation of AldrichNelson Pseudo R2 has been corrected 
    (credits to Chirok Han).

DEPRECATED:
  * FileOpenCmd(), SaveAsDlg(), ModelDlg(), ColPicker(), ColorDlg(),
    ImportFileDlg(), PlotPar(), PlotMar(), PlotPch(), SelectVarDlg(), Xplore()
    have been transferred to the package DescToolsAddIns, as these functions
    presumably only make sense in a GUI context.
  * IsValidWrd() has been replaced by IsValidHwnd(), which can be used to 
    generally check Windows handles (at least for Office applications).

  * DoBy() is a more flexible replacement for PartitionBy().
  * Dot(), Cross() and CrossN() can be used for vector geometry tasks.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:
  * Outliers() gets a new argument value allowing to return the indices of the
    outliers.
  * TOne() looses its NUMTEST argument and gets a new TEST argument in order to
    make the definition of tests more flexible. The p-value can now be formatted
    with fmt.pval.

    confidence intervals.
  * GetNewXL() will start with a new workbook now.
  * Format() accepts functions as argument "fmt" from now on.
  * Format() will recyle arguments when formatting data.frames, allowing to have
    different formats for different columns.
  * PlotQQ() gets an argument datax to flip the x and y axis - as qqplot() also has.
  * OddsRatio.glm() gets an argument "use.profile" in order to skip profiling when
    calculating confidence intervals (which can take very long time to complete).
  * BinomDiffCI() gets new methods for calculating confidence intervals for a
    difference of proportions ("mee", "mn", "ha", "scorecc"). At the same time
    BinomCI() has been extended by the needed method "wilsoncc" (Wilson with
    continuity correction).

BUGFIXES:
  * Desc() will not show an error for variables of class Date containing just one
    unique value.
  * TMod() did not parse the model labels correctly.
  * BinomDiffCI() would not have returned correct results for a difference of 0.
    (Thanks to Stephen Roberts, who with his enquiry brought about the completion
    of the function.)

    PPMT(), RBAL() for periodic payment for an annuity, SLN(), DB(), SYD()
    for calculating depreciation.

    to be converted to numeric when imported in Excel.
  * "Additional_repositories" has been changed from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/
    to http://www.omegahat.net/R, as the service in Oxford is no longer provided.

BUGFIXES:
  * TOne() will display the legend also when marginal results are omitted.



DescTools 0.99.24 (2018-03-19)
------------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
  * CountCompCases() returns the number of complete cases in a data frame and
    a table with all the missing of the single variables, as well as the number
    of complete cases we would receive, if the variable was omitted.
  * SplitAt() splits a vector at given positions.
  * Append() is used to append elements to a vector, rows/columns to a matrix
    and columns to a data.frame in the in the same sense as append().
  * Add some new univariate parametric extreme value distributions with their
    distribution, quantile and density functions.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:

  * identify.formula() would have omitted NAs while preparing the model.frame
    and so might have returned wrong rownumbers. It will now by default pass
    NAs if the argument has not been set.
  * Gmean will return 0 if any element of x is zero now.
  * Desc.character would not have passed the plots when output to MS-Word.

DEFUNCT:
  * InsCol() and InsRow() have been condensed into Append(), which is more
    general and more flexible.
  * PlotMatrix() has not been used and was obsolete.



DescTools 0.99.23 (2017-12-11)
------------------------------

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:
   * TTestA() will calculate a Student t-test using given sample statistics

   * Conf() did not return the correct detection prevalence.
   * PlotBinTree() would not have placed the text correctly in the horizontal
     representation.
   * Str() would not have passed ... args to str, as stated in help.

   * ModelDlg() would not have returned long data.frames correctly.
   * Freq() would not have calculated percentages, when NAs were to be included
     and a userdefined order was desired.

DEFUNCT:
   * Date() was needless, as ISODate does the same job.
   * Exec(x), consisting out of eval(parse(text=x)) did not contain enough
     functionality to justify an own function.
   * Same applies to AddClass() and RemoveClass().
   * ClipToVect() read the clipboard and printed the enquoted content.
     This operation is implemented in DescToolsAddIns::Enquote() resulting in
     a more usable approach.
   * LogLin() has been integrated in LogSt() with an option for the base.
   * LogGen is not needed anymore.
   * SetRowNames(), SetColNames() have been condensed into SetNames().

     (Credits to Andre Gillibert)
   * PercTable mismatched the names of columns and rows, when we would
     have changed the column order.
   * Vignettes had not been compiled by v.0.99.20.

DEFUNCT:

     Daniel Wollschlaeger)
   * Desc data.frame displayed a title with multiple lines for long definitions.




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

NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED:

   * 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.

   * 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()).

   * 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.

     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...

   * 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,

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:

   * 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.
