tidyLPA 0.2.12018-10-11

  • minor changes and bug fixes
  • addition of new reference to JOSS paper

tidyLPA 0.2.02018-09-13

Major breaking change:

  • change how models are specified; instead of using the model argument, whether and how the variances are covariances are estimated are passed the the variances and covariances argument; there are details in the readme and vignette and if a model argument is passed to a function, a message is returned describing how to specify the model using the variances and covariances arguments

Major change

  • change the compare_solutions_mplus() functions Mplus to still allow for the specification of six models, but to use the same four as compare_solutions() (which uses the mclust package, not MPlus) by default

Minor changes

  • improve NAMESPACE documentation
  • add option to return original data frame for functions that use MPlus
  • add option to use missing data for functions that use MPlus
  • add mailing list address to README as preferred contact method
  • remove deprecated function (to extract key statistics from an MPlus model)
  • make it so that a data frame with fit and other statistics is returned by default from compare_solutions_mplus()
  • added new values to the statistics returned by compare_solutions_mplus():
    • the cell size (the number of observations associated with each profile)
    • the number of times the log-likelihood was replicated, based on the number of optimization steps
    • Approximate Weight of Evidence (AWE) criterion
    • the number of parameters estimated
  • remove the messages about the software being in beta
  • how the Mplus syntax is generated was substantially changed/improved; thanks @gbiele

Bug fixes

  • change include_LMR argument to include VLMR
  • remove scale_fill_brewer(““, type =”qual”, palette = “Set3”) so that solutions with larger numbers of profiles may be plotted
  • fix issue where lines longer than 90 characters (i.e., when there are many variables) cause an error

tidyLPA 0.1.32018-03-28

  • improve plot_profiles() plots, including plotting bootstrapped standard when mclust output is directly used (thanks @cjvanlissa) & updated vignette with example of this
  • improve output from compare_solutions_mplus (thanks @DJAnderson07)
  • add function, extract_LL_mplus(), to extract log-likelihoods from models fit witsah estimate_profiles_mplus()
  • update documentation for pisaUSA15 dataset
  • improve compare_solutions_mplus() so it more reliably handles errors
  • improve vignette (thanks @oreojo for suggestion to mention that this package works best for continuous variables)
  • add URLs for package and bug reports to DESCRIPTION
  • add C.J. van Lissa and Daniel John Anderson as contributors

tidyLPA 0.1.22018-02-18

Fix:

  • Specify version 0.7 of MplusAutomation in Imports to address error

Minor updates:

  • Update README and Vignette
  • Update function names to include MPlus
  • Export %>% from magrittr (so it does not need to be loaded from dplyr)
  • Correct name of title for vignette
  • Update function names
  • Change output of estimate_profiles_mplus() to be returned with return(), instead of with invisible()

tidyLPA 0.1.12018-02-14

  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
