(Not used by eha, but by some innocent users of eha. Want to stop that.) 2.8.1.9971 (Oct 19, 2020) * toTime: Change result from 'timediff' to 'numeric'. 2.8.1.9970 (0ct 11, 2020) * tpchreg.fit: Bug fixes. 2.8.1.9965 (Oct 07, 2020) * tpchreg: Estimates of sd of hazards introduced.

(Yet a reason to split 'phreg' into functions by narrow groups of distributions.) 2.8.1.9941 (Aug 11, 2020) * phreg.summary: Bug fixed. It was introduced by differences between the distribution 'pch' and the other distributions. The piecewise constant hazards regression will eventually break out of phreg and form a separate function, named 'pchreg'. Have the same thoughts about the Gompertz distribution, to be put in 'gompreg'. We'll see... Main reason is that these guys need special treatment in the programming. 2.8.1.9935 (Aug 8, 2020) * phreg: Number of events in output was denoted 'events', now changed to 'n.events'. * aftreg: Number of events in output was denoted 'events', now changed to 'n.events'. * weibreg: Number of events in output was denoted 'events', now changed to 'n.events'. * tpchreg: Number of events in output was denoted 'events', now changed to 'n.events'. * coxreg: Number of events in output was denoted 'events', now changed to 'n.events' (to match output from coxreg). 2.8.1.9930 (Jul 26, 2020) * phreg: Fix issue with 'shape = ' something positive. * summary.phreg: Rewritten to conform with other summaries. 2.8.1.9925 (Jul 24, 2020) * plot.phreg: Only one function per plot is the rule now. Except of course if the analysis was stratified. * Gompertz: Fix errors in documentation. * plot.coxreg: Some minor anomalies fixed. * coxreg: Default for coxph changed to FALSE. * print.summary.coxreg: Bug wrt LR p fixed. * child: New data set added. 2.8.1.9920 (Jul 23, 2020) * phreg: fixed bug in Gompertz regresion with 'rate' parametrization. BTW, the 'rate' paramerization will be the default soon! 2.8.1.9910 (Jul 22, 2020) * Gompertz: added argument 'rate' to all functions. 2.8.1.9900 (Jul 17, 2020) plot.coxreg: Test for presence of 'hazards' object, avoid bug when 'coxph = FALSE'. 2.8.1.9850 (Jul 13, 2020) * risksets: New argument 'collate_sets', a logical. Defaults to FALSE, which conserves old behaviour. If TRUE, output is a list of lists, where each level 2 list describes one risk set. 2.8.1.9800 (Jul 13, 2020) * coxfunk: New function calculating a partial likelihood. 2.8.1.9750 (Jul 10, 2020) * Vignette 'Proportional hazards regression with tabular data' develops. 2.8.1.9700 (Jul 8, 2020) * coxreg: New argument 'coxph' (logical) is introduced. If TRUE, survival::agreg.fit (or survival::coxph.fit) is called for in the optimization. If FALSE, 'own' optimization is called for, can be slow for (even moderately) large data sets (many distinct event time points). Default value is TRUE. 2.8.1.9650 (Jul 7, 2020) * plot.coxreg: Fixed newly introduced bug in the cases 'method = m(pp)l'. * eha vignette: First serious attempt. * summary.tpchreg: New function, with a print method. 2.8.1.9600 (June 30, 2020) * tpchreg: add argument 'last', and allow 'time' to be numeric. Documentation changed accordingly. 2.8.1.9550 (June 28, 2020) * swepop: New data set, Swedish population by age, sex, and year 1968-2019. * swedeaths: New data set, Swedish deaths by age, sex, and year 1968-2019. * swe07: Old data set is now obsolete and deprecated. Will be removed. 2.8.1.9500 (June 17, 2020) * tcphreg: Added debug info. 2.8.1.9450 (June 15, 2020) * tpchreg: Add rownames and colnames to hazards (if matrix). * summary.tpchreg: New function. 2.8.1.9400 (June 14, 2020) * tpchreg: Finish first step of development, now useful. 2.8.1.9300 (June 11, 2020) * plot.coxreg: Bug fix. 2.8.1.9200 (June 9, 2020) * coxreg revised for "coxhp case". * plot.coxreg rewritten, using survival::(survfit, plot.survfit) * toTpch: Bug fixed. * nobs.coxreg: Changed to count events instead of rows (bug fix). * plot.hazards: Removed. * plot.hazdata: Removed. 2.8.1.9150 (june 7, 2020) * coxreg: Arguments 'hazards' and 'center' deprecated. * phreg: Argument 'center' deprecated. * Bugs (some ...) fixed. 2.8.1.9100 (June 6, 2020) * coxreg: Default values of arguments 'hazards' and 'center' changed to FALSE. A null model output has a 'terms' added. 2.8.1.9050 (Jun 4, 2020) * tpchreg: Argument 'pieces' removed (is now calculated from 'time'). 2.8.1.9000 (Jun 3, 2020) * tpchreg: and friends. Work continues. 2.8.1 (Mar 31, 2020) * Published on CRAN. 2.8.0.9050 (Mar 3, 2020) * gompstartRate: Simpler starting values introduced (internal). * risksets: Bug fix: Now works when 'members = FALSE'. 2.8.0.9000 (Feb 21, 2020) * getsums.f: Replace 'dcopy' in three instances to please gfortran 10. 2.8.0 (Dec 19, 2019) * Rewriting tpchreg. * Add tpchreg methods: print, plot, extractAIC. * Add new function: oe (occurrence/exposure data). 2.7.6.9200 (Dec 09, 2019) * C header files conformed to PKG_CFLAGS=-fno-common. 2.7.6.9100 (Oct 22, 2019) * toTpch: Take care of possibly empty interval(s). 2.7.6.9000: (Sep 26, 2019) * tcphreg: Expanding and writing summary, print, and plot methods. Not finished yet. 2.7.6: (Sep 15, 2019) * cdgemv.c: Removed. Finally correct handling of C and Fortran calls to BLAS and LAPACK routines (thanks to Tomas Kalibera). 2.7.5: (Sep 11, 2019) * cdgemv.c: C wrapper for dgemv added as replacement for gdgemv.f (removed). 2.7.1: (Sep 4, 2019) * gdgemv.f: New function, essentially a copy of the LAPACK subroutine dgemv. Purpose: Avoid bug in gfortran 7+. * risksets: Warning about sample_fraction fixed. * Errors in plot.aftreg fixed (thanks to Mark Clements). * In eha_fun.c, changed 'finite' to 'isfinite' (C99). * New functions: tpchreg, toTpch. 2.6.0.9200: (Jul 22, 2018) * Bug in phreg, Gompertz distribution, 'param ="rate"', fixed. Again! 2.6.0.9100: (Jul 19, 2018) * Bug in phreg, Gompertz distribution, 'param ="rate"', with strata, fixed. 2.6.0.9000: (Jul 15, 2018) * plot.phreg, error in Gompertz with 'param = "rate"' fixed. 2.6.0: (Jul 13, 2018) * Depends on survival (>= 2.42-5) * Released to CRAN. 2.5.2.9100: (Jun 5, 2018) * plot.Surv removed: is now a method from the survival package, version >= 2.42-5 2.5.2.9000: (Jun 5, 2018) * plot.Surv: bug fix, illegal value to 'fn' gave nonsense-plot. 2.5.2: (Feb 26, 2018) * mpch is a new function: Gives the mean of a piecewise constant hazards distribution. 2.5.1: (Dec 04, 2017) * ppch, dpch, hpch, Hpch, qpch were not exported. Fixed. 2.5.0: (Oct 11, 2017) * New versioning system (*Hadley Wickham*'s suggestion). * Documentation 'roxygenized'. * Development moved to [gitHub](https://github.com/goranbrostrom/eha). * The package glmmML was merged into eha in version 2.0. This has turned out to be a very bad idea ("double entry"), and all relevant functions are now Defunct and removed. Use glmmML instead. * glmmML, glmmboot, ghq, glmmbootFit, glmmML.fit are all Defunct and removed. No reverse dependency used any of them. Those functions are all found in the package glmmML, on CRAN. 2.4-6: (Sep 22, 2017) * phreg: Start values by 'coxreg' (bad idea) removed. * aftreg: in 'addMeans' and 'aftreg1', an error (spotted by Jingchunzi Shi) with fixed scale corrected. 2.4-5: (May 2, 2017) * init.c: Added after R-3.4.0. * coxreg: "Geometric bootstrap" removed (it never worked and was never used). * cal.window, age.window: Works now with 'tibbles'. 2.4-4: (Sep 21, 2016) * rpch: Bug fixed (spotted by Brigitte Mueller). * plot.phreg: parameters 'changeLog' and '...' enhanced. Documentation updated. * plot.coxreg: Bug concerning 'printLegend' fixed. * weibreg: Note added in documentation: "Use phreg instead". weibreg will soon be deprecated. 2.4-3: (May 5, 2015) * coxreg: Changed the default for 'hazards' to TRUE. * getHaz: Modified to handle missing strats and score. * print.risksets: Added '...' to argument list. * coxreg: Fitting a NULL model didn't produce enough information like log likelihood ('loglik'), for comparison of models. Fixed. * glmmboot: 'frail' set to Inf or -Inf for appropriate clusters. * plot.hazdata: Updated to acknowledge the argument 'hazards' that was included in 'coxreg' in version 2.4-2. * plot.coxreg: Updated to acknowledge the argument 'hazards' that was included in 'coxreg' in version 2.4-2. Errors in the manual page corrected. * risksets: Risk set sampling did not always work (memory leak in C code); fixed. * risksets: New value in the Value list: sample_fraction. * plot.aftreg: Now registered as an S3 method. * print.aftreg: Scale and shape parameters are only printed on the log scale. 2.4-2: (Dec 15, 2014) * src: 'abs' corrected to 'fabs' in two places in C code. * coxreg: Argument 'hazards' added, with default = FALSE. * plot.Surv: Argument 'printLegend' added. * coxreg: Changed labels in case of ordered factors. * Foreign calls: 'DUP = FALSE' removed everywhere. * print.pch: Bug preventing printing(!) fixed. * plot.pch: Bug preventing plotting(!) fixed. 2.4-1: (Feb 14, 2014) * phreg: Fails often for the lognormal and loglogistic models with badly fitting data. A warning is included in the documentation, and better error handling in case of a failure. Example under 'check.dist' changed accordingly. 2.4-0: (Feb 10, 2014) * coxreg: Call to survival::[agreg,coxph].fit in "standard" cases reintroduced; Thanks to Terry Therneau, who exports these functions from survival_2.37-6. So this version of 'eha' requires survival (>= 2.37-6). Argument 'center' reintroduced, with slightly different meaning. * plot.coxreg: argument 'newdata' not used. * phreg: Stratified analysis in the piecewise constant hazards model introduced. Argument 'center' reintroduced, with slightly different meaning. * plot.phreg: Argument 'newdata' not used. 2.3-5: (Jan 17, 2014) * plot.coxreg: Added the argument lty, for line type, and the logical parameter 'printLegend' (default: TRUE). Setting it to FALSE skips the legend in the figure. 2.3-4: (Dec 5, 2013) * plot.coxreg: added the argument col, for color line(s). * plot.hazdata: Ditto. 2.3-3: (Oct 10, 2013) * coxreg: Restoring equity. * glmmML: Removed spurious printing in 'glmmml.c'. 2.3-2: (Oct 10, 2013) * aftreg: Updated start values for the Gompertz distribution, matching the (now mandatory) 'canonical' parametrisation. 2.3-1: (Oct 03, 2013) * coxreg: Downgraded due to limitations in using non-exported function (agreg) from 'survival'. This will be taken care of ASAP. Meanwhile, live with slightly slower 'coxreg' and choking on huge data sets. * Coxreg: Removed for the same reason as the downgrade of coxreg. 2.3-0: (Oct 03, 2013) * phreg: The lognormal and loglogistic distributions have an intercept added to the linear predictor; in effect extending these distributions to three-parameter families. A bug (found by Claire Williams) affecting the covariance matrix of the parameter estimates has been eliminated. * aftreg: The same bug as for phreg eliminated. The available parametrizations are changed to 'lifeAcc' and 'lifeExp'. For the Gompertz distribution, the 'canonical' representation is used regardless. * hlnorm, Hlnorm, hllogis, Hllogis: New parameter, 'prop', added. It simply multiplies the previous definitions by its value. * age.window, cal.window: speed up and handling of empty intervals * perstat: speed up. 2.2-6: (June 23, 2013) * plot.phreg, plot.coxreg: legend added for stratified fits. * Coxreg: New function designed to handle huge data sets. coxreg chokes on 'integer overflow', and memory overflow, when the collection of risk sets is created and saved. Coxreg is essentially a wrapper for 'coxph' in the 'survival' package, but with methods for nice(r) printing. * coxreg: Error in the calculation of 'total time at risk' fixed (gave negative values when no left truncation!). 2.2-5: (May 13, 2013) * Gompertz, ltx: Too long lines in the documentation fixed. 2.2-4: (May 13, 2013) * phreg: The gompertz 'scale' parameter is now a real scale parameter through a reparametrization of the baseline gomperz distribution. It follows now the 'canonical' parametrization. There is also a new argument, 'param', which can take the values "canonical" (default) and "rate". Better start values for the Gompertz regressions. * check.dist : Has failed due to different scaling in coxreg and phreg since 2.2-2. Now fixed. 2.2-3: (April 17, 2013) * risksets: Added an argument, 'members', a logical with default value 'TRUE'. If TRUE, the members of all risk sets are returned. With huge data sets, this may be too much, and not wanted. In such cases, set 'members = FALSE'. * coxreg: Memory leaks fixed in getHaz.f, sizes.c and risk.c. 2.2-2: (March 23, 2013) * phreg: argument 'center' deprecated; centering of covariates is done internally, but uncentered results reported. If you want centered results, center covariates yourself! 2.2-1: (November 6, 2013) * weibreg, phreg, aftreg: Error messages refreshed. 2.2-0: (October 30, 2012) * ltx is made generic, with methods for coxreg, phreg, and aftreg 2.1-3: (September 6, 2012) * Gompertz distribution: new parameter 'param'; values 'default' (default, nothing changes), and 'canonical', which gives meaning 'PH' and 'AFT' to the shape and scale parameters, respectively. * aftreg: New input argument: 'param', with three values, 'default' (which is the default;), 'survreg', and 'canonical'. The value 'default' uses the standard parametrization, while 'survreg' uses the same parametrization as the survreg function in the survival package. 'canonical' is especially useful in the Gompertz distribution for separating PH and AFT parameters. 2.1-2 (August 30, 2012) * glmmboot, glmmbootFit: Reduced the numbers of iterations in the examples. 2.1-1 (August 29, 2012) * aftreg: There was a bug when using 'dist="gompertz"' and the 'id' argument with more than one record per id. This is now hopefully solved. 2.1-0 (June 25, 2012) * glmmML: Added the gamma distribution to the possible priors in the case of the Poisson model. 2.0-7 (January 3, 2012) * C code cleaned (avoiding some Warnings at CRAN). * check.dist: New argument, col, added. Default is now black-and-white plotting. 2.0-6 (December 9, 2011) * plot.Surv: Can now handle missing values in strata variable (by deleting corresponding cases!) 2.0-5 (October 13, 2011) * ltx: New function for printing coxreg fits in latex format. * plot.Surv: New arguments, col and lty, added. The default is now black-and-white plotting. * data: Two new data sets, "logrye" and "scania". 2.0-4 (August 27, 2011) * oldmort: Data set updated. * aftreg.fit: Errors in documentation corrected. 2.0-3 (August 12, 2011) * SurvSplit: Bug fixed. It works now. * glmmboot: Bug in calculation of 'frail' fixed. * plot.phreg: Bug in argument 'ylim' fixed. Bug with stratified fits fixed. * aftreg, phreg: summary method added (just printing). 2.0-2 (August 8, 2011) * coxreg: 'x = TRUE' now really returns the design matrix. 2.0-1 (August 7, 2011) * sw_fun: C function (internal) now declared and defined. 2.0 (August 6, 2011) * glmmML: Merged into eha. This adds binary and count data regression for clustered data to eha. glmmML is still a standalone package on CRAN, for how long remains to be seen. * Pch: New class of distributions; Piecewise constant hazards (Pch). * phreg: piecewise constant baseline hazard function introduced. * phreg: 'center' reinstalled as a logical, default = TRUE, so nothing changes if 'center' is left untouched. * age.window: If the selected window is empty, an error was previously thrown. Now NULL is returned, with a warning. * cal.window: Now returns NULL, with a warning, if the selected window is empty. 1.4 (June 26, 2011) * aftreg: Gompertz distribution added (back again). Better start values. * phreg: Better start values for Gompertz distribution. 1.3-7 (June 20, 2011) * eha: Depends (R >= 2.13.0) * phreg, aftreg, weibreg: Errors in documentation corrected. * ChangeLog: Errors in 1.3-6 corrected. 1.3-6 (June 18, 2011) * coxph, phreg, aftreg: Bug fix: Logical covariates now OK. (converted to factor). * phreg: Removed "coxph" from "class". * aftreg: Ditto. * weibreg: Ditto. * oldmort: New data set. * coxreg: added return values 'df' and 'n'. * coxreg, phreg, aftreg: Added extractAIC and nobs methods. 1.3-5 (May 20, 2011) * infants: New data set containing matched data on infant and maternal mortality. 1.3-4 (May 10, 2011) * toBinary: Now includes also risksets without survivors (if any). * fert: Row names changed to row numbers. * swe07: New data set. * Spelling errors (some!) corrected in documentation. 1.3-3 (May 4, 2011) * male.mortality: Old name (male.mortality) of data frame mort reinstalled. Now known under two names. Overlapping spells no longer exist. * fert: Documentation corrected. * toDate: Now works as intended. 1.3-2 (March 1, 2011) * dllogis: Bug fixed. * hllogis: Bux fixed. 1.3-1 (January 15, 2011) * phreg: Fixed error and (some) numerical instability in the estimation of the Gompertz proportionla hazards model (seems to be very sensitive to good start values!). * plot.phreg: Fixed 'ylim' for cumulative hazards plot. * male.mortality: Data set renamed to * mort: The new name. (Just for convenience!) 1.3-0 (January 4, 2011) * coxreg: Major revision, calls 'coxph' in 'survival' (thanks to Terry Therneau!) for ordinary requests. Reason: speed. The argument 'center' is deprecated, centering of covariates is now routinely made. Affects the estimation of the baseline hazard, which is done at the means of the columns of the original design matrix. * phreg: Argument 'center' is deprecated. Centering is routinely performed, so the baseline hazard is estimated at the means of the columns of the original design matrix. * aftreg: Corrected error in documentation and made the argument 'center' deprecated. * aftreg: Estimation of intercept ("scale") is now comparable with corresponding estimate of Intercept in 'survreg'. 'shape' in aftreg is still '1 / scale' in survreg. Regression coefficients still have different signs but the same absolute values. * join.spells: a few bugs fixed, now allows for factor covariates. * male.mortality: data set "joined". * fert: is a new data set. Contains data on 19th century marital fertility from a parish in northern Sweden. 1.2-18 (February 28, 2010) * aftreg.fit: Check of data consistency in case of more than one record per individual added. * aftreg.fit: Fixed memory allocation bug in C code. This bug was not fatal (too much memory was allocated), but caused a severe performance problem, especially on Windows. 1.2-17 (February 23, 2010) * aftreg: 'dist = "gompertz"' should now work (realizing that it is a special case of 'dist = "EV"). * phreg: Fixed bugs for the cases with fixed shape (includes 'dist = "gompertz"'. * aftreg: 'offset' works now. * phreg: Ditto. * check.dist: Bug fixed for 'dist = "gompertz"' (again!) * plot.phreg: Ditto. 1.2-16 (February 19, 2010) * aftreg: 'dist = "gompertz"' is unreliable, so changed the example and added a note with a warning. Is also an item on the ToDo list now. 1.2-15 (February 18, 2010) * aftreg: argument 'id' now works as intended, i.e., is looked for in 'data' (or 'parent.frame()') * print: functions return invisibly 'x'. * coxreg: argument 'weights' now works as intended, i.e., is looked for in 'data' (or 'parent.frame()') 1.2-14 (October 29, 2009) * check.dist: Bad 'ylim' fixed. * aftreg: Gompertz distribution had a bug; now fixed. 1.2-13 (October 26, 2009) * plot.coxreg: Bug fixed in call to plot.hazdata (wrong order of args). 1.2-12 (October 15, 2009) * aftreg: Works now for time-varying covariates. Not polished. 1.2-7 (August 13, 2009) * coxreg: Time-dependent offset introduced. 1.2-6 (August 11, 2009) * coxreg.fit: Time-dependent weights work now. 1.2-5 (August 2, 2009) * coxreg: Added (time-varying) weighted Cox regression. Returns error code 1 if failure, with a warning. * check.dist: Can now handle stratified models. 1.2-4 (Jan 12, 2009) * Bugs in qEV, rEV, all Gompertz functions, plus documentation of EV and Gompertz fixed. Note that these bugs did not affect aftreg or phreg! However, * check.dist had to be revised due to the above bugs. 1.2-2 (Aug 25, 2008) * Bug in coxreg, method = "ml" fixed. * Bug in coxreg, calculation of hazard, fixed. * Several errors in the documentation fixed. 1.2-0 (Jul 18, 2008) * Added functionality: Accelerated failure time models with several distributions, parametric proportional hazards models with the same distributions. All models allow for left truncated and right censored data, as well as for stratification. Plot methods for the new models. 1.0-1 (Jan 5, 2008) * Added 'risktime' to toBinary output. 0.99 (June 9, 2007) This is the last release before version 1.0! * Added full profiling to the "ml" and "mppl" methods in coxreg. * mlreg is now deprecated. Use coxreg with method = ml or = mppl 0.98 0.97 0.96-7 (Dec 29, 2006) * Corrected a bug in the documentation of 'weibreg'. 0.96-6 (Dec 28, 2006) * Corrected a bug in weibreg concerning 'center = FALSE'. 0.96-5 (Oct 24, 2006) * added a 'terms' object to the output of coxreg and mlreg. 0.96-1 (May 15, 2006) * plot.Surv improved. Suggestions by Dimitri Szerman. (Thanks!) 0.96-0 (April 14, 2006) * Weibull regression updated; It is now possible to fit a Weibull model to left-truncated and right-censored data without covariates. A small error in the documentation of 'weibreg' corrected. 0.94-3 (Aug 22, 2005) * 'check.surv': If the 'id' was a factor with unused labels, the result was unpredictable. Corrected. 0.94-2 (Jun 27, 2005) * Errors in the documentation of 'weibreg' corrected. 0.93-0 (Sep 20, 2004) * NAMESPACE introduced for R-2.0.0. 0.92-4 (May 5, 2004) * coxreg: 'Error' changed to 'warning' for a singular hessian, in which case the new return value is NULL. 0.92-3 (March 19, 2004) * table.events: New parameter: 'strict = TRUE'. * make.communal: In case of 'communal=FALSE', spells are no longer truncated. Instead a value of NA is given if birthdate is out of range. Previous behavior was unpredictable when birthdate was out of range. 0.92 (November 12, 2003) * mlreg: Geometric distribution (i.e., constant baseline discrete hazard) added. Not for frailty models, yet (on the TODO list). * mlreg: New argument, 'n.points', added to 'control'. Controls the number of points used in the Gauss-Hermite quadrature. * mlreg: Stricter control of numerical problems, especially in the frailty fit. * clean: Replaced by check.spells and join.spells. * Return values changed to conform with R-1.8.0 (and later).
