Updates: * Refreshing tests to meet new CRAN guidelines
Updates: * Minor updates to revive package
Updates: * pkgdown
documentation * Incorporate more Nlsy97 info * Rename dataset
SurveyDate to Survey79. * In
Survey79, expose only one age variable to save space to
stay under CRAN’s size limit.
Updates: * Small updates to meet new testthat version.
Updates: * SurveyDate dataset contains survey details for each subject, for each year. * Small updates to meet newer CRAN guidelines.
Updates: * Small updates to vignettes and documentation. * Small updates to meet newer CRAN guidelines about title & description format. * Checked with R Tools 3.2.
New Features: * A more complete version of the Gen1 links are included. 95% of all Gen1 Housemates have been linked.
Updates: * R now has missing values for Gen1 pairs if
the 1979 roster (eg, R00001.51) doesn’t indicate they’re the same
generation. If this value is desirable for your research, their R values
are still available in RFull. * The naming scheme for the
Links79Pair and Links79PairExpanded datasets
are more consistent across variables. For variables that are measured
separately for both subjects (eg, Gender), the subjects’ variable name
will have an _S1 or _S2 appended to it. For
instance, the variables LastSurvey_S1 and
LastSurvey_S2 correspond to the last surveys completed by
the pair’s first and second subject, respectively. * Similarly, the
functions CreatePairLinksDoubleEntered and
CreatePairLinksSingleEntered now by default append
_S1 and _S2, instead of _1 and
_2. However this can be modified using the
subject1Qualifier and subject2Qualifier
parameters. * Added function ReadCsvNlsy79Gen1() * Updated
reference manual, ACE vignette, and FAQ.
Updates: * Renamed R to RFull.
RFull contains all the R values we have.
R excludes R values in Gen1Housemates if they’re
0, .375, or .75. The associated relationships (ie, Gen2Cousins and
AuntNieces) become null for R, but not for RFull.
Updates: * Removed code that assigned all unassigned siblings to .375. This doesn’t make sense for Gen1, and was mostly an internal experiment (and wasn’t released on CRAN).
Updates: * Added outcome variables for Gen1. Renamed some outcome variables for Gen2.
Updates: * Based on geocode variables, five Gen1 ambiguous twin was demoted to R=0 (two were R=.5; three were R=NULL).
Updates: * Rebuilt For R2.15.2 with with RTools216.exe.
Updates: * Small documentation updates
Updates: * Gen1 Links are more thorough (but still in a beta state) * Gen1 and Gen2 information uses the NLSY 2010 survey wave (released this Spring 2012)
Updates: * Added material to appendices of the NlsyAce vignette. * Removed ‘stringr’ package from Depends list. It’s no longer used creating lavaan syntax.
New Features: * Added ParentChild links. * Added Gen1 links (using only Explicit items). There will be much more work to these relationship in the next few months. * Added Gen2Cousins & AuntNieces. These will change as the Gen1 links are filled out with implicit information.
Updates: * Additional Documentation.
Updates: * Started a FAQ (as a vignette).
Updates: * Additional documentation and unit tests. * Changed R-Forge development status from “Beta” to “Production/Stable”
Updates: * Modified some function signatures to be make package more consistent. * Additional lavaan example in ACE vignette.
New Features: * The new function ‘AceLavaanGroup’ uses the ‘lavaan’ package to estimate a multigroup SEM ACE model.
New Features: * The S4 class ‘AceEstimate’ is returned by the ‘Ace’ function. * Methods & functions associated with the AceEstimate class. * SubjectDetails79 dataset for Gen2. * ReadCsvNlsy79 function. * Validation functions: (a) OutcomeDataset * Column Utilities: (a) VerifyColumnExists, (c) RenameNlsyColumn
New Features: * NLS Investigator vignette * ACE vignette * Generalized AceUnivariate function that wraps DeFriesFulkerMethod1 and DeFriesFulkerMethod3. * ExtraOutcomes79 dataset * Links79PairExpanded dataset * Validation functions: (a) OutcomeDataset, (b) PairLinks, (c) PairLinksAreSymmetric * Create functions for (a) SpatialNeighbours, (b) PairLinks, (c) SubjectTag
