Changes in Version 2.0-0 o Package "betareg" was orphaned on CRAN, Z took over as maintainer, ended up re-writing the whole package. The package still provides all functionality as before but the interface is not fully backward-compatible. o betareg(): more standard formula-interface arguments "betareg" objects do _not_ inherit from "lm" anymore. o betareg.fit(): renamed from br.fit(), enhanced interface with more arguments and returned information. Untested support of weighted regressions is enabled. o betareg.control(): new function encapsulating control of optim(), slightly modified default values. o anova() method was removed, use lrtest() from "lmtest" package instead. o gen.lev.betareg() was changed to gleverage() method (with new generic) and a bug in the method was fixed. o envelope.beta() was removed and is now included in plot() method for "betareg" objects. o Datasets "prater" and "pratergrouped" were incorporated into a single "GasolineYield" dataset. o New data set "FoodExpenditure" from Griffiths et al. (1993), replicating second application from Ferrari and Cribari-Neto (2004). o Added NAMESPACE. o The residuals() method now has three further types of residuals suggested by Espinheira et al. (2008) who recommend to use "standardized weighted residuals 2" (type = "sweighted2"). The default are Pearson (aka standardized) residuals.
