PoissonBinomial 1.1.1

• Fixed bugs in ppbinom and pgpbinom that caused incorrect calculation of logarithms and cumulative upper-tail probabilities.

PoissonBinomial 1.1

• Added exact and approximate algorithms for the generalized Poisson binomial distribution described in Zhang, Hong & Balakrishnan (2018). The non-generalized distribution is now referred to as the ‘ordinary’ Poisson binomial distribution.
• Restructured vignettes. Added tables of content and fixed smaller issues.
• Minor bug fixes for dbinom, ppbinom and qpbinom functions.

PoissonBinomial 1.0.2-1

• Fixes and improvements of the vignettes; no code changes.

PoissonBinomial 1.0.2

• Improvements of C++ helper function “norm_dpb” to achieve better normalization.
• Bug fix of DFT-CF method (“Characteristic”) so that negative probabilities are no longer possible.
• Reworked vignette structure.
• Added author acknowledgments to the Makevars.win file (original author was Geoff99 (https://github.com/Geoff99)).

PoissonBinomial 1.0.1

• Fixed a bug in the C++ helper function “norm_dpb” that could cause infinite loops (the function is invisible to the user, since it is only used in the C++ domain).

PoissonBinomial 1.0.0

• Initial release.
• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
