#Release v1.0 * switched to cmdstanr as back-end
(requires additional installation) * added id_me method for
calculating ideal point marginal effects for covariates * added ordered
beta distribution for items (bounded continuous measures) * added
splines as possible time series functions * updated vignettes with new
features * changed legis functions to person
functions (old functions kept as deprecated)
#Release v0.7.2 * Updated to be compatible with most recent
rstan (version 2.19.2). * Added id_plot_cov
function for marginal effects plotting of covariates. * Added
id_plot_irf for calculating impulse-response functions for
AR(1) models covariates.
#Release v0.7.1 * Fixed bug where time series vignette did not show on CRAN screen
#Release v0.7.0 * Implement a Gaussian process prior for ideal points
to permit semi-parametric inference * Update
id_plot_legis_dyn to allow for overlay plots comparing
different time series models * Strength over-time model identification
using variational inference fits
#Release v0.6.0 * Set a stricter threshold for vb to
1e-04 to promote more robust variational inference
#Release v0.5.1 * Fixed bugs in plotting functions related to plotting two groups. * Fixed bug in AR(1) model with restricted time variance. * Updated dependencies to rstan 2.18.2. * Added error-catching in covariate creation.
#Release v0.5.0 * New models for Poisson, ordinal-graded response, Normal and Log-normal outcomes. * Time-varying ideal point processes: random-walks and auto-regressive priors. * Time-varying plot functions for ideal points. * Hierarchical covariates for ideal points and item/bill discrimination. * Switched from matrix data input to long data frames.
#Release v0.2.9.1 * Fixed bugs in id_extract and
id_make functions.
#Release v0.2.9 * Fixed a bug in the ideal point plot function, and
also in the auto_id option in id_estimate.
