date_factor(dateVec, ...) fixed bug in “character string is not in a standard unambiguous format” produced by some date valuesfolds(x, ...) x can now be a positive integer specifying the number of fold IDs to generatedate_factor(dateVec, ...) the argument fullyears has been dropped and replaced by the more flexible pair of arguments minDate and maxDate for determining resulting vector levels. Additionally a bug regarding type=yearquarters has been fixed.bin_data() added some input validationbin_data() occuring when x is integery type and bins includes Inf or -Infdate_factor() occuring when type = “yearquarter” and fullyears = FALSEempirical_cdf()date_factor() for converting dates to a grouped ordered factor (e.g. months, yearmonths, yearquarters, etc.)x in folds(x, stratified=TRUE, ...)Initial Release
