diffusion 0.4.0 (2024-04-16)
changes
- diffusion is now released under LGPLv2.1. The previous version under GPL(>=2) can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/mamut86/diffusion/releases/tag/v0.3.1
diffusion 0.3.1
changes
- new automated removal of leading and trailing NAs. Error abort if NA within series
- new search optimisation argument (multisol)
- new option to partially fix/optimise parameters w in both diffusion and seqdiffusion
- new bootloss argument to control fo r different loss function of the bootstrapping
- added documentation for tsMetal.RData
- added internal sum squared error function for the optimiser
- added passing optim setting int trough Gompertz and GSGompertz initialisation
- added error handling for optimx function
- renamed argument l to loss (for l-norm selection)
- renamed argument x to y (the response variable)
- renamed argument optim to method (the optimiser selection)
- introduced argument initpar to allow manual initialisation, preset and automatic
- introduced argument mscal to scale market potential for better optimisation results
- introduced argument bootloss to choose from different loss function for bootstraps
- changed non-critical warnings to type message, to allow easy suppression
- is.diffusion() and is.bass() functions
- renamed option variable l to loss (for l-norm selection)
- renamed option variable x to y (the response variable)
- updated documentation for diffusion() - Thx Ivan!
- removed tsBroadband dataset due to data privacy concerns
- new search optimisation option
bugfixes
- issues with log errors - reverted error measure to v.0.2.7 for the time being
- fixed an initalisation issue on the weibull model
- fixed titles for graphs
- fixed typo in documentation for predict function
- fixed fcst table to contain same number as horizons
- fixed number of parameters that go into G/GS (only relevant if w.idx is active)
- fixed error when plot.seqdiffusion() was used with cleanlead = F
- fixed error in gompertz when cleanlead = F
- fixed the tsmetal issue - the object now has the correct name
- fixed error when plotting ts-object with cumulative = F
- fixed an error when eliminate was TRUE with 0 pval reps to stop.
- fixed the sequential diffusion pval elimination process
- fixed error when linearization fails and reverting now to preset
- fixed error when bootstrapping produced NA now ignoring NA and warning.
- included error check for pvalreps in seqdiffusion
- included error check for y to be vector or ts-object / matrix or mts for seqdiffusion
- included a revert method in case optimization fails and warning messages
