All plots now use the bayesplot theme which can be modified with bayesplot_theme_* functions. See ?bayesplot::bayesplot_theme_get. * correct transformation issue in MAP for variances vignette - thanks to Ping Chen * allow for constrained fitting of beta mixtures which have a & b parameters greater than 1. This is the new default behavior which the function will inform about. The informational message will be removed in a future release. * introduced new mixecdf plot as diagnostic for EM fits October 22nd, 2019 (1.5-4) * Now really fix n2=0 case for 2S design functions for indirect comparisons * Update package structure to new rstantools 2.0 system August 28th, 2019 (1.5-3) * Fix vignette MAP for variances (missing definition) August 28th, 2019 (1.5-2) * Speedup example run time * Avoid use of cat in functions and use message instead * Replace dontrun in examples with donttest * Require NOT_CRAN=true for tests to run August 28th, 2019 (1.5-1) * Work around compiler warning with clang on fedora platform August 15th, 2019 (1.5-0) * Fix indirect comparisons to work with normal/Poisson/binomial (inexact) to allow for n2=0 in oc2S calls. * Make mixture quantile function more robust to work with very flat mixture priors. * Align ESS Morita calculations with Neuenschwander B. et al., _pre-print_ 2019; arXiv:1907.04185 July 27th, 2019 (1.4-0) * Introduce elir ESS method as new default for ESS * Allow to sample prior predictive with gMAP (argument prior_PD) * Switch internally to ab parametrized version of EM beta algorithm April 3nd, 2019 (1.3-8) * Use Simulation Based Calibration for gMAP model qualification * Improve covariate handling (naming of data items) * Speedup Stan model by avoiding matrix-vector products with many zeros * Fix index issue with differential discounting when used with covariates * Make initialization of EM algorithms more robust * Avoid special build hacks on MacOS November 16th, 2018 (1.3-7) * Address issue for build process on MacOS.

Numerical tolerances are reverted back to 1.3-1 settings. January 25th, 2018 (1.3-2) * Adjust numerical tolerances to pass tests for no long double case December 21st, 2017 (1.3-1) * Add Trustees of Columbia copyright for respective files in DESCRIPTION December 21st, 2017 (1.3-0) * Added probability of success calculation for 1+2 sample case. * Added decision1+2S_boundary functions (and deprecated use of y2 argument of oc functions) * Added RBesT.integrate_args option for greater control over density integrations. * Correct cumulative predictive of beta mixtures to return 0/1 for out-of-range values (instead of leaving those out). * Deprecated functions oc1+2Sdecision which are replaced by decision1+2S. August 21st, 2017 (1.2-3) * Fix plotting procedures to work with bayesplot 1.3.0 July 12th, 2017 (1.2-2) * Further speedup example runtimes.
