MBNMAdose 0.2.7

Bug fixes

• Ensured stringsAsFactors = FALSE does not affect package in preparation for R 4.0.0.
• Edited tests to ensure that any checks for matrix objects account for matrix objects now having matrix and array classes

MBNMAdose 0.2.6

Additions/Changes

• Ensured non-parametric functions are properly monotonic by setting default initial values. Each agent now includes an index dose level of 1, which corresponds to the reference treatment effect (placebo)

MBNMAdose 0.2.5

Additions/Changes

• Added Lujin Li to list of authors as a reviewer thanks to his considerable help in identifying issues in the previous version.
• Each agent can be assigned a different dose-response function (by assigning a vector of functions to fun in mbnma.run()) so that multiple functions can be modelled simultaneously. Some downstream package functions still may not yet work with these models though.
• mbnma.network objects returned from plot.mbnma.network now have specific igraph attributes assigned to them, which can be easily changed by the user.
• user.fun now takes a formula as an argument (for example ~ (beta.1 * dose) + (beta.2 * dose^2)) rather than a string.
• plot.mbnma.network() now uses a layout argument that takes an igraph layout function instead of layout_in_circle (which was a logical argument). This allows any igraph layout to be plotted rather than just a circle (e.g. igraph::as_star())

Bug fixes

• Changed if {class(x)=="matrix"} statements to if {is.matrix(x)} to address R development changes

Major

• Exponential function models were not working previously but the dose-response function has been rewritten so that it runs the model correctly.
• DIC reported correctly in output when using plugin (pd="plugin"), or Kullback-Leibler divergence (pd="pd.kl")
• Using the argument parallel=TRUE in mbnma.run() (or wrapper functions) now properly runs JAGS in parallel on multiple cores.

Minor

• Downstream mbnma-related objects now store mbnma.network in their output rather than just treatment and agent names.

MBNMAdose 0.2.4

Documentation changes

• Update to README to ensure package workflow image works correctly on CRAN.
• Added JAGS as a System Requirement (JAGS >= 4.3.0) to the DESCRIPTION

Bug fixes

Major

• Fixed incorrect ordering of treatment codes in mbnma.network, which also led to problems in subsequent commands/plots

Minor

• Fixed minor with numeric vs character coding of treatments in arguments for ranking functions
• Fixed issue with nma.nodesplit() that prevented the model running if disconnected treatments were included in the analysis (drop.discon=FALSE)

MBNMAdose 0.2.3

Documentation changes

• Made corrections to some arguments specified in documentation
• Fixed incorrect vignette reference
• Allowed more examples in the vignette to run so that plots can be created which better illustrates how MBNMA.run() functions are used.

MBNMAdose 0.2.2

First release of package

Welcome to MBNMAdose. Ready for release into the world. I hope it can be of service to you! For time-course MBNMA, also check out the sister package, MBNMAtime.
