exdqlm 0.2.0

• New AL/GAL helper functions with C++ backends:
  • dexal(), pexal(), qexal(), rexal() for density, cdf, quantile and random generation.
  • get_gamma_bounds() to compute valid (L, U) bounds for gamma given p0.
  • Implementation details:
    • Core numerics in C++ via Rcpp/RcppArmadillo and BH (Boost) for root-finding and Φ.
    • Parameter validation to keep gamma within bounds; clearer errors.
• Updated exdqlmISVB() and exdqlmMCMC() to use rexal()
• exdqlmChecks() renamed exdqlmDiagnostics()
• Improved the performance of plotting functions exdqlmPlot() and compPlot()
• Return changes
  • functions polytrendMod(), and seasMod() now return objects of class ‘exdqlm’
  • function exdqlmISVB() and (inherently) transfn_exdqlmISVB() now return objects of class ‘exdqlmISVB’
  • function exdqlmMCMC() now returns objects of class ‘exdqlmMCMC’
  • function exdqlmDiagnostics() now returns objects of class ‘exdqlmDiagnostic’
  • returns from exdqlmMCMC(), exdqlmISVB(), and transfn_exdqlmISVB() now include data (y)
• Input changes
  • y removed from the inputs of exdqlmDiagnostics(), exdqlmForecast(), compPlot(), and exdqlmPlot()
• Added generics_etc.R which includes generics & other functions for the objects of class ‘exdqlm’, ‘exdqlmISVB’,‘exdqlmMCMC’, ‘exdqlmDiagnostic’, & ‘exdqlmForecast’
• Removed dlmMod.R and replaced with the more robust function as.exdqlm (in generics_etc.R), which creates ‘exdqlm’ objects
• Removed combineMods.R and replaced with addition for ‘exdqlm’ objects (in generics_etc.R)
• Testing & docs:
  • Unit tests for pdf/cdf/quantile inverses and sampling sanity checks.
  • Package-level docs updated; vignettes intentionally deferred for a later release.

exdqlm 0.1.4

• CRAN hygiene & maintenance
  • Removed legacy MD5 file; added ignore so it won’t be re-created in builds.
  • Dropped stray placeholder files (e.g., .gitkeep) from package sources.
  • Tidied DESCRIPTION (Imports/LinkingTo clarified; encoding/notes consistent).
  • Ensured no hidden or invalid files end up in the tarball.
• Examples & tests
  • Updated examples to keep gamma within valid bounds for the chosen p0.
  • Converted tests to use exported package functions (no ad-hoc sourceCpp()).
• Documentation
  • Minor clarifications and consistency fixes in Rd pages.

exdqlm 0.1.3

• exdqlm 0.1.2 was archived on 2022-10-23 as requires archived package ‘dlm’. ‘dlm’ now back on CRAN.
• Fixes and general improvements
  • changed if/class conditions in exdqlmISVB, exdqlmMCMC to is()
  • added the function is.exdqlm() to utils
  • changed if/class conditions in compPlot, exdqlmChecks, exdqlmForcast, exdqlmPlot to is.exdqlm()

exdqlm 0.1.2

• Fixes and general improvements
  • fixed a bug in the forecast plotting routine
  • dqlm.ind = TRUE automatically sets gam.init = 0 & fix.gamma = TRUE (implemented in check_logics)
  • added a check that gam.init is in the appropriate range in exdqlmISVB and exdqlmMCMC
• Input changes
  • added parameter to specify the percentage of the CrIs in compPlot, exdqlmPlot and exdqlmForecast
• Return changes
  • kt added to transfn_exdqlmISVB return
• Dataset changes
  • Niño 3.4 dataset added
  • BTflow dataset updated
  • monELI dataset removed

exdqlm 0.1.1

• Documentation updates
  • added author (year) to citation in descriptions
• Argument changes
  • added input verbose to the functions exdqlmISVB & exdqlmMCMC to allow users to suppress progress updates
• Return changes
  • functions exdqlmPlot and compPlot now return a list of the MAP & CrI estimates that are plotted

exdqlm 0.1.0

• First release.
