dream 1.0.0 (2026-01-19)

Major Changes

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
• Two key changes occured in the new version of dream package. First, the majority of functions now depend upon c++ routines via the Rccp package to improve computational runtime. For instance, the new function to compute the repetition network statistic, remstats_repetition(), is around 90 times faster than the previous function, computeRepetition(), in dream version 0.0.1. Secondly, the dream package has an updated API to allow better categorization for the functions. Please run ?dream for more details on the new API. Based upon this transition, the original functions are now deprecated starting on version 1.0.0, but remain available in this update.
• The following functions were deprecated for remstats_triads(): computeISP(), computeITP(), computeOSP(), computeTriads, and computeOTP().
• The following functions were deprecated for remstats_degree(): computeSenderOutdegree(), computeReceiverOutdegree(), computeSenderIndegree(), and computeReceiverIndegree().
• estimateREM() was deprecated for estimate_rem_logit().
• simulateREseq() was deprecated for simulate_rem_seq().
• computeFourCycles() was deprecated for remstats_fourcycles().
• computeRemDyadCut() was deprecated for remstats_dyadcut().
• computePersistence() was deprecated for remstats_persistence().
• computePersistence() was deprecated for remstats_persistence().
• processOMEventSeq() and processTMEventSeq() were deprecated for createriskset().
• computePrefAttach() was deprecated for remstats_prefattachment().
• computeRepetition() was deprecated for remstats_repetition().
• computeRepetition() was deprecated for remstats_repetition().
• remExpWeights() was deprecated and will not be replaced in the current version as the updated functions do not require it.
• remExpWeights() was deprecated and will not be replaced in the current version as the updated functions do not require it.
• computeTMDegree() was deprecated for netstats_tm_degreecent().
• computeTMEgoDis() was deprecated for netstats_tm_egodistance().
• computeBCConstraint() was deprecated for netstats_tm_constraint().
