Version 1.1.7.9000 Unreleased

  • placeholder for next development-cycle

Version 1.1.7 2020-09-22

  • During a replication data is generated once and then used by all data analyzing functions. This was already the case under the default setting where the generated data sets are stored by eval_tibbles() and is now also the case were the generated data is discarded by the eval_tibbles() function.

Version 1.1.6 2020-05-17

Misc:

  • internal updated for dplyr 1.0.0 and vctrs 0.3.0
  • internal correction based on lintr-findings

Version 1.1.5 2020-03-15

Misc:

  • removing functions expandGrid() and evalGrid() (which were marked as deprecated in version 1.1.0) and the corresponding dependencies with reshape and plyr
  • retrieve the RNG kind after parallel computation

Version 1.1.4 2019-09-14

Misc:

  • adaptions to address the new release of tidyr 1.0.0

Note:

  • due to https://github.com/r-lib/vctrs/issues/530 reshaping the simulation results can be extremely slow. That costly reshaping will not happen if the parameter simplify is set to FALSE in simTool::eval_tibbles.

Version 1.1.3 2019-03-22

Misc:

  • test cases update to address the new release of dplyr 0.8.0

Version 1.1.2 2019-02-02

Misc:

Version 1.1.1 2019-01-13

Misc:

  • .truth-functionality added, i.e. the parameters of the data generation (or alternatively a column of the data generating matrix with the name .truth) is passed to the the data analyzing functions, see the vignette for details
  • Unnesting of the simulation results improved

Version 1.1.0 2018-03-26

Misc:

  • Refactoring in order to remove the dependency on reshape and plyr
  • The simulation itself is now a tibble instead of a list of lists

Version 1.0.3 2014-10-25

Misc:

  • Adapted how libraries are loaded onto the cluster

Version 1.0.2 2014-10-15

New Features:

  • The convenient function meanAndNormCI added

Misc:

  • Two parameter renamed (post.proc to summary.fun and value.fun to convert.result.fun). Of course, renaming parameters is one of the worst things one can do. On the other hand, only very few users will be affected by these changes.

Version 1.0.1 Unreleased

New Features:

  • summarizing functions process also logical results (not only numeric)

Misc:

  • HTML vignette (LaTeX not necessary anymore)
  • additional documentation (static pdf in JSS style)

Version 1.0 2014-07-08

Initial release

  • parallel computing via parallel and the ideas of L’Ecuyer 1999, 2002 for random numbers
  • fallback capability
  • text progress bar
  • estimation of the number of replications per hour
